AS VIEWED BY BRITISHERS
Vice.COnsuI Gives His Ideas on the
Presidents Message

The British vice consul resident at Los
Angeles. c. White Mortimer, has been the
representative of her majesty's govern
ment at this port for fifteen years last
past. Mr.. Mortimer is genial and af-
fable gentleman, and when seen at his
Office yesterday afternoon consented to be
interviewed upon the Venezuel Al difficulty
and the presidents message. Mr.. Morti-
mer said:
Eyes, sir; read the presidents message
very closely, and as a state document 1
consider it very fine piece of rhetoric.
The president has expressed himself in
strong and forcible language, which cannot
help but impress any one who reads it.
Still think the cause of the difficulty is
very trivial, and would not for one mo-
ment think that there would be resort TO
arms were it not for the fact that there ex-
lists in this country and Great Britain
very belligerent spirit just at present. But
At the same time, / cannot conceive the
possibility Of the two great English speak
ing nations of the earth engaged in war.
1t would be great misfortune to both
countries, from the effect of which they
would not recover in generations.
"Just observe these figures: In 1894
she exports OF Great Britain ware valued
ut f4OS, 344, $40, or about $2,040,000..
900. The imports were $3.50 100000.
OF these exports the United States took
$50, ,392, or about $3.50, 1000. 900
over one-fifth of all that was taken by all
the nations of the earth. The United
States sent back to Great Britain exports
valued at f30,775, 466, or about $780,
100000. The balance of trade was
against the United States about $500 .OOO,-
600. In the event of war this commerce
Great Britain as against the United States,
of a continuance of the existing condition
OF affairs between the two governments.
"Great Britain in 1894 sent To France

Now, in glancing over these figures, you |
will observe the relative importance of the |
trade OF the United States to Great Britain |
