Interesting Speech by Commonwealth Premien in London London, Nov. 4, That Australia and the United States were both young countries with many points in common was the theme of a speech by Mr.
Brace, the Commonwealth Prime Minister, at a luncheon of the United States Chamber of Commerce in London to-day.
Mr. Bruce declared that both earnestly desired to keep clear of the entanglements of the Old World. They both had the same outlook. The link between Australia and America was still hopelessly misunderstood in Europe, The future of the world depended upon a better understanding and American cooperation in the solution of the world's economic probleme. At the xame time America must have a little more understanding and sympathy with Europe.
Both countries, the speaker continued, were great Pacific Powers and he visualized the future trans-for of the world's centre from, the elder continents to the newer world of the Pacific. Australia regarded itself. as the inheritor of all which had been won by the American forefathers.—Reuter.
