roo MUCH ANNEXATION.

This IL EnElnnds Foible and Its Avoid
ance Is Americas Strength.
The French would be wise if they did
not covet the possessions of the king
of Siam; for, if they manage to get
them, they will probably cost a good
deal more than they bring in. But
this matter that hardly concerns us,
says Labouchere in London Truth
Our jingoes are, of course, on the war
path and tell us that Siam is the
''Ilinterland" to Burmah, and that
consequently we have q right to pre-
vent anyone laying hands on it. am
glad that Lord Rosebery has thrown
cold water on this startling doctrine,
which in the end would enable us to
claim the entire globe. Lower Burmah
is near India, so we took it. This, it
would seem, gave us n right 20 take
upper Burmah, and now that we have
upper Burmah this, in some inscrut-
able way, gives us rights over Siam.
The possession of Siam, would, sup
pose, Justify us in annexing China.
wonder what we should say if some
other European power were to build up
an ever increasing empire in this
'housc that Jack built" fashion.
In many ways the United States has
educated the world in politics. and I,
for one, do not hesitate to say that
its scheme of government is the best
that has ever been established by a ma
ton. But in nothing do we owe more
to the Americans than for their hav-
iSg afforded US the great objGct-lesson
of state pursuing the even current of
it's way, without that meddling in the
affairs of other states which has been
the bane Of European powers. Here we
have a country, rich, powerful, indus
trial and commercial, yet never troub-
ling itself with what happens outside
its frontiers, or annexing forsign lands
on the plea of philanthropy, or on
the ground that in some centuries
its area will be too small for its pop
ulation, or in order to create markets
for its goods. And what is TAG result?
No one dreams of attacking the United
States or Of picking quarrel with it.
The lesson to be learnt is. that a
state should rest satisfied with propaot-
ing the well bci2g of her own citizens,
and leave it to other states to promote
the we'll being of th2irs. Can anyone
conceive the United Statas annexing
jungles in the center of Africa, in the
wild expectation that the Inhabitants
of the junglcs will be civilized and
then cover thsir nalicdncss with Amer
lean cotton goods and cook their food
In American pots and pans?
