A Pledge of International Friendship; An Account of a Week's Entertainment in London of the Delegation from the Chamber of Commerce of the State of ... June 1St to 7Th, 1901 (Classic Reprint)

The interchange of expressions of international goodwill, of which the following pages present a record, was the outward and visible manifestation of the growing feeling of community of interest between the two great divisions of English-speaking people. There have been no more assiduous or influential exponents of that feeling than the Chambers of Commerce of London and New-Y ork. When the diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the United States became somewhat strained, because of a difference of opinion in regard to the boundary line of Venezuela, the London Chamber appealed to the New-Y ork Chamber to use its good offices in the cause of a peaceful solution of the difficulty. The call was responded to in a way which appears to have made a lasting impression. According to Lord Brassey it was the desire to mark their deep sense of the service thus rendered that prompted the Council of the London Chamber to send the invitation which resulted in the series of entertainments of which an account is here presented.
