Cementing the war-time partnership between Britain and the United States for peace-time purposes is not the most difficult of the many steps which must be taken to achieve a stable and just world order, but it may be first in importance in the sense that, without it, other steps become impossible. It may be harder to bridge the ideological gulf between the Western world and Soviet Union, or the racial gulf between the Western world and Asia. It may be still harder to check the pride and restrain the power of the dominant nations so that the smaller countries may have their due place in world organization. Yet the Anglo-American partnership remains first in order of importance.
