BROTHEHOOD
(From the Dawson News)
“.Jlehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity".
The world witnesses today the first instance in which an American
president has been upon the soil of old England during his period of eneum
beney as chief executive of the republic. Not only is lie in England, the heart
c£ the Empire- which gave birth to the republic, but he is there as the honored
guest of the Empire and personally entertained in the palace home of the sov
nign of the Empire. What higher tribute of esteem to the American people
end her responsible head could be conferred.
Thus after a century and a half is attained the climax of Anglo-Am
erican relations. Thus is consumated the reunion of the English-speaking
world. Significance attached to this alliance gives to the picture the widest
lange of good conceivable for humanity.
No two nations of earth so comprehend the welfare of the human race
In this resplendent age as these two powerful democracies. That they are
both of one origin, one tongue, one family, and hold the allegiance of such a
vast portion of the earth's population is a theme with which to conjure. That
they are the leaders in thought and in just and equitable government justifies
the claim' of the English speaking people to the first honor among all races
of the earth. This is an attribute in which every son and daughter of the
race should take an undying pride.
The mutual esteem which the Empire and the Republic entertain lias
been emphasized in many ways of late. Their harmonious operations on land
and sea. in the (treat War, and the exchange of material assistance in every
way brought about an understanding in the hour of mutual stress wheih prom
ises to be enduring in the days of peace. America testified her deep apprec
iation of the magnificent valor-of Britain in the war- when on the seventh of
tiii.s month celebrations were held throughout the Republic exclusively in
honor of the Empire. Today Britain reciprocates and extends to America’s
representative a welcome which transcends perhaps any ovation ever extended
•o a guest within the borders of Empire. The spectacle is sufficient to stir
the deepest feelings of every citizen of the two great nations and to evoke the
a- miration and emulation of every other nation.
It is traditional and also axiomatic that in union there is strength.
A correlation of British and American interests will eliminate much of hitherto
'verse than useless friction. There is no doubt but what Britain, had she re
tained the territory now comprising the bulk of America, could have adminis
t: cod that much more territory as successfully as she now administers what
she holds today. Why then cannot these two great common wealths bo ad
ministered in harmony even though under two flags? Cannot there be a
symbol of Anglo-American significance sufficient to comprehend a pledge for
mutual welfare of the two nations. Cannot the English-speaking world bo
looked upon as an 'unbroken entity. Cannot frowning forts and threatening
navies be eliminated forever in so far as the relations of one part of this
union to another is concerned—and thus the first great essential attained in
the ideal of which all progressive peoples entertain today, the permanent peace
of tlio world?
If Britain and America can so co-ordinate their interests that they will
live in respect'to each other as harmoniously as the vast sub-divisions of each
of these great nations now exist, the hope may be entertained for the most
r piendid results in time for the rest of the world. But if Britain and America,
one in birth and tongue and laws and traditions, cannot got on together, what
T epe can there be for the rest of the world.
Surely the people of these two great nations • agree on the desire for
permanent loving communion, unbroken peace and interlaced ties of family
and home. Politicans and others of mean ends may try to interfere with these
relations for some sordid gain. But the people are destined to rule this world,
and foremost among the people are those of these twin democracies.
Britain and America have locked arms for the best there is. Their
T'ople desire that this friendship be durable.—and it will. Britain today gives
. her hand to America, and together they renew their faith and plight their
troth. It was pledged in blood. It will not fade.
AND AFTER VICTORY, WHAT?
Out of the storms and violence of a world war our civilization is pass
ing into new and uncharted seas, into an ocean where the red terror rage9j
like a IvphoorV and where the shoals of industrial unrest are clearly visible.
A literacy is dead in Europe.. The German Empire, the Austrian
Empire and the Russian Empire have been reduced to smoking ashes. But
-•ho task of the great free nations of the world is not finished; it has only
begun. The cid house is wrecked, but on its ruins the institutions of a free
people hav^vet to rise.
The virus of Bolshevism lias infected the proletariat of the fallen empires
| That malady must be combatted with the same heroic energy that overthrew
tl o military despotism of hereditary democracy. The immediate task before
the Allied nations is to establish stable government amid the ashes of the fal
len monarchies.
Restoring law and order in the states that once formed the German Em
•’ c first duty that confronts the Allies. #
Hunger breeds anarchy and social revolutions. The pressing need of
E.•.•op'—our allies first and then those who were as late as yesterday our
enemies—is food. Anarchy is a famine sickness; hunger and vice are the
I great recruiting nts of the Bolsheviki. Civilizations die of starvation, not
of overeating.
