SATISFACTION TO JOIN HANDS .WITH AMERICAN PEOPLE LONDON, Nov. 28. In a long article on Thanksgiving day, the Daily Mail says: "This year's Thanksgiving day will be celebrated in gratitude for the richest harvest ever gathered in. It is a particular particu-lar reason for satisfaction that we can join hands with the American people tai looking back on the perilous monttia through which we and they passed." The paper pays a tribute to tho United Slates navy in winning a victory whlon will be regarded as an epic illustration of the value of sea power. Referring to Colonel W. S. Churchill's 1 declaration on the determination of the British to preserve their sea rights, to 1 which the republic of the United States owes its existence, the Telegraph continues: con-tinues: "We believe the good sense of the American people 'will lead them to a recognition rec-ognition of the debt due to the two navies, i and that they will sympathize with the attitude of an island people in confronting confront-ing the naval questions which may be discussed at the peace conference. We, like themselves, owe our freedom from aggression to sea power." "Kvery where," the Dally Telegraph continues, con-tinues, "throughout the king's dominions, Colonel Churchill's firm statement will be supported that no arguments must lend us to abandon our naval supremacy which is the only sure defense of these islands anil the distant dominions. "In joining in celebrating Thanksgiving day we may perhaps entertain the hope that the great American people, remembering remem-bering the passage of their troops hi safety across the Atlantic and the dramatic dra-matic close of the war as a direct result of the blockade in which the American naval forces also joined, will be as firmly resolved as we are not to barter away those ancient rights which once more have proved to he the deliverance of the world."
