[From the Herald, Boston, Mass., Feb. 13, 1923]

Rev. H. J. Cody, of Toronto, in a recent speech, made a strong plea for an understanding between the United States and the British commonwealth of nations. He predicted that if the two great English-speaking nations would come together, they could do much toward the establishment of peace in a war-torn world. Dr. Cody explained that one of the things, in his opinion, that caused misunderstandings between the United States and England was that "our textbooks, possibly on both sides of the line, have tended somewhat to give biased accounts of what actually happened in those days [Revolutionary days], and not altogether the facts as people now know them. A hundred years or more have gone. Surely it is right for all of us, on all sides of the question, so to recount the history of the past that we shall not perpetuate hatred or suspicion or misunderstanding in the present. ... Our two great peoples should march side by side to emancipate the world, striving together in the common cause."
