The visit which Their Majesties paid to the United States opens, I believe, a new chapter in the relations between this country and the American Republic. It proves that blood is thicker than water. But it proves even more the brotherhood of peoples who live under the flag of freedom and democracy. The enthusiastic welcome of the United States, to which the Prime Minister has referred, was, I believe, the outpouring of the pent-up feelings of a great people desiring to make known their fundamental unity of purpose with Britain and her sister nations. There is for the world as a whole profound significance in the reception which the King and Queen received. It was, as the Prime Minister has said, a tribute to the personal charm and the friendliness of Their Majesties, but it also expressed the real kinship of the English-speaking peoples, and although one is a Republic and the other a Constitutional Monarchy, it proved that there is a real understanding, that they are facing common problems, sharing common ideals, desiring what all men and women of good will desire—the maintenance of peace and of freedom, and the establishment of enduring prosperity in the world. I feel that no words of mine are adequate to express what I believe to be the real significance of this visit. It may have—may it be so—more far-reaching results in maintaining peace and friendliness in the world, than we know. For that we greet them back home amongst us.
