THE RELATIONS BETWEEN ENGLAND, FRANCE AID THH
UNITED STATES COMPARED.
In the debate on the commercial treaty in the House OF
Lorcs the 18th March, Lord TAUNTON the course OF
time to time there bad arisen very difficult and decata
questions between this country and the United States,
which If not conducted with temper discretion and
deraon on both sides have involved both countries
in all the calamtes Of war. The commercial relations
between them, however, were 80 vast and 30 important
that he satisfied they had great practical effect in
preventing the crimes and miseries Of unnecessary
contest. (liear) This consideration indication
how desirable it was that they should IL possible, improve

from the London Post, March 1el
TO the truly wise and staesmanlke remarks Of Lord
called attention to the effects Of our commercsi ntsr
course with the United States In keeping the peace be-
tween America and England Lord Grey replied by the
atoA1 IA Tya.~~~
Commons that the French protectonss will be rendered
by the measure the bitter enemies Of England. But in
teconss 1916 and those France at the present dsv
how came it that Lord Grey completely overlooked the
welfare OF the country may be said TO exist in little
more than those Of France with experience
OF the same benefits, are likely to exhibit the con-
version
Lord GREY following the example of the opposition IN
the House OF Commons chose to connect the Commercial
Treaty with the question Of Savoy and declared he
would the responsibility OF joining in an address
to the crown, and thus give by implication nis approval
stances But one voice. he said was heard ON thls sub
ect France nay throughout all Europe and that voice
spoke in terms Of reproof and bitter re-
Bpectipg the present attitude of England The charge 90
often brought against Us, that but nston Of
shopkeepers, might now be heard in every court and
cabinet OF Europe for was said that England had bar
tered away her name and fame, her political traditions
and her moral influence that she was no longer the vgi

thipgto the inordinate lust Of gain
These are doubtless brave words But Lord Grey who
would be the first man TO denounce any act likely TO lead
this country oto hosities France has not condo.
scended to inform N what course short OF actual HOSTILE
tes, DE would pursue. Commercial intercourse with
France, with all other countries is thing sb souteIy
good in ITSELF wholly irrespective OF the principles or
poy the rulers oy WHOM those countries may be
from the suspicion and disrust which must necessarily
create in all the established governments Of Europe Our
government would have been wanting in s duty had it
not endeavored TO prevent this misfortune re taking
place But to maintain that we, who carry on our trade
form, with rulers Of every character with settled and
unsettled, with autocradc and democratic States.
with countries Of which anarchy seems the normal cond
uon, with empires phere treaties made than
they fdiouy broken; to maintain that with France
and with France alone, our commercial relations shall
furnish the occasion for expressing moral po
lcal dsrust, this s indeed the most extravagant Mes
which the whole realm Of paradox furnish forth 1t
Atterng the patriotic feelings Of the country which
makes Lord Grey anticipate the dangers likely 70 arise
when the operation Of the Reform bill shall confer on
the representatives Of led constituency the
power Of appropriatng the burdens required for the
maintenance Of public credit We believe that

One precedent should not be overlooked The most phi
osophic statesman whom country ever produced
Mr. Burke represented that treaty base sacriace of
English honor England, be exclaimed, would after is
conclusion, resemble the woman yielded u her honor
and her fair name for comforts and uxuries for gauds
and gewsawsshe might henceforth ooaG me wines aud
rustic in the silks Of France but her influence and her
honor as nation was for gone Just as little as Mr.
buIkes predictions were then verified by the event. just

present commercial treaty prevent England from vndi-

title to be the patoness and the proecress Of the weak
