I can write this to you without seeming to parade my own opinions .-- Kerr is one of "The Round Table," perhaps the best group of men here for the real study and free discussion of large political subjects.
Their quarterly, _The Round Table_, is the best review, I dare say, in the world.

Kerr is red hot for a close and perfect understanding between Great Britain and the United States.

I told him that, since Great Britain had only about forty per cent.

of the white English-speaking people and the United States had about sixty per cent., I hoped in his natural history that the tail didn't wag the dog.

I went on: "You now have the advantage of us in your aggregation of three centuries of accumulated wealth--the spoil of all the world--and in the talent that you have developed for conserving it and adding to it and in the institutions you have built up to perpetuate it--your merchant ships, your insurance, your world-wide banking, your mortgages on all new lands; but isn't this the only advantage you have?
This advantage will pass.
