S. Lester's letter to Lord Davies to congratulate him for his book and fine analysis of events, as well as his plans for the future: idea of a British-American Commonwealth (union of power and rights), a good idea because the future of the world would depend a lot upon cooperation between Great Britain and America, but difficult to carry out; another problem: a British-American Commonwealth might cause a reaction from the non-German european states to the London-Washington supremacy and be the prelude to inter-continental wars; S. Lester's belief in the revival of the League of Nations, which gave more promise of stability than the great dream of an Anglo-American union.
