Evidently the motto in America is " Equality, equality, and

again equality." In these circumstances we feel that our right policy is to go out of our way to accept equality while still pressing for our own proposals. There is no reason in the world why we should be jealous of the United States, and there are very good reasons why we should not be. If we challenge, or rather seem to challenge, the United States to a building competition she can win easily. That is a fact which should never he for- gotten. If we gladly welcome the American aspiration to equality we shall remove suspicion and shall have a much better chance of convincing the Americans of the real merits of our case.
