RE-UNION RATEPAYERS* MEETiNG TABLE TENNIS LEA(3UE One of the moat amazing things in this world of jarring ' (li.'̂ coril.s, botli between nations and classes, is the growing I'eeliiig of friendliness between the peoples of Great Britain 1111(1 the United. States. We say "peoples'* advisedly, bccau.se (here, has never been anything but friendship based on, a imitiml understanding between the more educidted and the ' linancial interests of both race.s. And, since it is a thing of sniiiment, which cannot be traced to any pai'tioular event or i-vents, it is the more likely to bo permanent. Possibly also it .- is largely responsible for the recent volte face in the tradi- , (ional Anierican».policy as announced by/President Roosevelt. ............'rhere-have^been, i t . isi-true, ..certain..cQntributingLcauses,..„. hut they do not fully explain the phenomenon, which seems Io have sprung-up from nowhere. The real aAid widespread sympathy, for instance, extended hy the American people as a \yholo to tho.se of,Great Britain jti (he time Of the passing of the late King George, really' • imiched the heart;of the Britisher. .He felt that "the Yankee," . whom he had formerly regarded as a noisy boaster, could not Ik; such a bad fellow afte r all, In a/Word, he had discovered ' ,llu* essential kindliness of heart of the average. American. '^)n ,the other hand the American, brought up to regard all kings and princes as useless exoressetices, which he had been fortunate enough to get rid .of as a result of the War of Inde­ pendence, sensed that King George had been different, that ■ in some way he seemed to have been in spite of his rank "real human" and a man who did a day's work and looked after his home and family. Again? th e ' real history of the events leading up to the • --Boston-Tea-Party-isTbeing-taught;-The~American-people~are bcjcuming acquainted with, the fact that that, war was really between the American Colonists and the King, not the people : of England, who .heartily sympathised with them.__. _ . _ _ There will be those who will say that this grbwing friend- , iiness Is the call of the blood. However, much as that might be desired by some, it does not happen to be true. There is a language common to both races, and, taking it by and large, common laws; bu t Americans are' ho longer a people predomin- pintly of British"Stock, although this may be true of certain parts of the South and the New England States. Probably the mostTmportant oi'.,the contributing causes . has been the steady struggle for peace waged by England - and the U nited 'States in these post-war years. The latter - has never- joined-the League of -Nations,-but-her^influence- has----- nn^^'j^nbeeh'direcfed'agiih^ and now she, together with" England have been and are rearming as the only possible course left by^which the world may be' saved from the hole- caust that, regardless of who wins, must destroy civilization. , However, no rnatter what th e cause or causes, the grow- A meeting of the West Van­ couver.
