Sir Auckland emphasized his hope for closer Ar.glo-American cooperation not only for the sake of the two countric-3, "but as a means to the greater end of cooperation between the nationals of all nations." "Only in that way," he continued, "will we be able to secure the atmosphere necessary to the complete restoration. of economic prosperity. We (Great Britain) are convinced that if any nation is to be really prosperous, no nation can be left to wallow in starvation and ruin." The ambassador declared that the British people have no dearer wish that they might go forward as "friends and cooperators" with America. Incidentally, he said there was a wide impression in England that if the expected trade development materialized, there would be a shortage of American raw cotton. K ON THE DEATH^OF MR.
