...Friday June 15 and listen to the thrilling addresses so expressive of British-American fellowship and peace made by men like Fred B. Smith, S. Parkes Cadman, Harry Emerson Fosdick, Charles E. Burton and Clarence Hall Wilson (Americans) and Alfred G. Sleep. Sir. Murray Hyslop and John D. Jones (Englishmen)-could you have heard these men and the messages of King George and President Coolidge (himself a Congregationalist) you would have been so thrilled that you would surely have had the whole trip reported in TIME.

"Oliver Cromwell," he says in closing, "had set out with the high profession that he would save the parliamentary liberties of Englishmen. That was his theory.

A fact like that cannot be fitly explained by the mere historian. It is a subject for a writer of great tragedy--or farcical comedy...
