HER SHEY (Of Indiana University) An alliance with Great Britain would make much easier the preser vation ot our liberties ana vital in terests and the development of our national policies in America as well as in Europe and the Far East. The British empire is largely a con federacy of free peoples with senti ments and institutions similar to our own, and, except in certain matters of trade, our mutual interests are not seriously antagonistic. . Where such interests do conflict, as perhaps in Latin America, they are readily capable of compromise or ad justment. the fundamental mutual interests of both the British empire and the United states are those usually de nominated in our presidential cam paigns as "peace and prosperity." In the mam, both peoples are ma terialistic and utilitarian. In both countries no slogans appeal with more force than those of the full dinner pail" and national security with a view to the eniovment ot all the comforts of home." War is generally regarded bv the Anglo-Saxon world not merely as a useless survival of a barbaric past, but as a rule an unwelcome disturbance of business, of games, and of all the oth er peaceful vocations and avocations in winch our citizens as we I as Brit ish subjects delight. Another mutual and perhaps senti mental (though no less vital) interest that described bv such terms or phrases as democracy, the right of self-government, western liberalism. the political and economic freedom of the individual (including the emanci pation of woman), etc. It we desire the tnumDh of such ideals over Prussian militarism, au tocracy and organization, the best way would seem to be to form an al liance with the British empire and act in conjunction with the newly awakened democracies cf Kussia and China, as well as with the older dem A POWERFUL FIGHTING SHIP The U.
