The New York "Morning News reproduces one
of series of articles Oregon, which we re-pub-
lish to-day, written by Mr.. BENTON, and published
some twenty-eight years ago St. Louis newspa-
per. Its republication at this time, observes the
"News," may tend to give the reader more correct
understanding of the position assumed by Mr.. Benton
this subject the epoch of the Joint use Conven-
ton with Great Britain, of 1915, and perhaps shed
some light upon his present line of policy in regard
to that measure The writer sets forth the immense
value of that region to the United States as afford
ing direct route by which we may have speedy in
tercourse with India and be enabled to command, in
great measure, the vast commercial advantages of
that invaluable trade. He gives also brief histor-
cal sketch of the commerce of India from its early
origin to the commencement of the last quarter of
century and shows that it has been the means of
elevating to wealth and greatness all those European
nations which, at different periods of the world, have
chiefly monopolized its benefits.
