Anglo-American Relations The presence in this country of Mr. Norman
Davis, who still holds the rank of Ambassador-at-Large of the United States and will certainly not confine his activities to attendance at a Sugar Conference, is an opportune reminder of the vital importance to the world of an increasing cordiality in Anglo-American relations. In the conviction that no subject demands closer attention at the present time, The Spectator has arranged with Sir Arthur Willem who was for ten years the chief correspondent of The Times in the United States, and since then, till 1935, Press Officer and Head of the News Department at the Foreign Office, to write a series of six articles, the first of which will appear next week, on the possibilities of a closer understanding between the two English-speaking democracies. Sir Arthur, who is just ending a three-months' visit to the United States, has had special opportunities of learning the views of representative Americans of all parties and in all walks of life on a matter which the President and the Secretary of State are both known to have closely at heart. In next week's article the strength of the American desire for increased co-operation with Europe, and with Great Britain in particular, is analysed.
