AN ANGLO-SAXON ALLIANCE.

Mr., Chamberans speech Of Friday last has
called forth worldwide comment. Some say
that was the end he had In view in making 1t.
Perhaps 1t was, though surely not the only one.
II so, he may well be gratihed at the result
Scarcely an utterance Of British Minister for
the last twelve months has attracted more at
tention. And not one has deserved more Mr..
Chamberlain Is a bold and aggressive speaker,
but he is not reckless nor irresponsible. 1t Is
impossible that he should have said what he did
without deliberate purpose, without full ap-
probation OF what his words meant, and with
out positive knowledge that his utterance would
be approved by his cOlleagues-the Government
of the British Empire. Thus interpreted, his
speech Is invested with an importance which
cannot easily be overestimated, not even by the
unreasonable Latin nations OF the Continent,
whose public men and journals are now 80
busily discussing It,
The tone Of comments Is much what might
have been predicted. In Great Britain both the
great parties are earnest In their approval
Probably Mr.. Labouchere, whose dislike or
America is equalled only by his opposition to
the extension Of British influence beyond the
British Isles, will prove hostile, and so may
those Irish politicians who think they see their
game in fomenting dissensons between the
two great branches Of the hated Sassenach race
But the British people. as represented by the
non partisan Times" the Conservative stand
ard" the Liberal News and the Radical
"Chronicle" are at one in approving and ap-
plauding Mr.. Chamberlain's dOubly imperial
scheme In Russia, Of course denunciatlOn IS
severe or as severe as the censor deems polite
In Germany there are divided and hesitatng
counsels. waiting upon the Emperors decision.
which Is as likely as not to be favorable TO
Great Britain The French press Is all but
unanimous IN disapproval. Yet 1t Is to be borne
in mind that, after one Of the longest admins
trations In the history Of the Republic-the
longest but one, We believe-M. Melne has
handsomely swept the country In the general
elections, and secured a majority IN the Cham
Der, assuring his Ministry prolongation Of Its
tenure; and NJ. Meline Is not hostile to Great
Britain and Is friendly to the United States.
Spain, Of course, RACES; one leading paper de-
caring that an alliance between Great Britain
and the United States twill cause a general con-
fagration." and another saying 1t will be Gin
"dicative Of great war In Europe against the
"AnglO-Saxons' But then Spain does not
seriously count as an exponent Of European
thought
The phrase "Anglo-Saxon alliance" Is used. 1t
will be seen much more by Mr.. Chamberlans
commentators than by Mr. Chamberlain him.
oelf. 1t 10. however, doubtless what he has in
mind. and may a. well BE- frankly considered.

COAL. THE WORLDS PEACE POWER

In the many comments on Mr. Chamberlain
striking utterance regarding Anglo-Saxon alli-
ance not the least suggestive Is that OF a Brit
sh journal In effect that control Of cOaling sta
lions throughout the world constitutes no in
significant asset for an alliance. No nation will
ever be able TO hold power in the Pacific Ocean
which has not such stations and good supplies
of coal fit for naval use. Even on the Atlantic
really powerful European navy would be
wellnigh useless three thousand miles from
home, unless able to command such facilities.
Though supplies can be obtained by use of col
Tiers sent to distant ports for a short time after
hostilites begin, that source must presently
fail, especially II the nations which control the
great supply Of steam-maling coal unite to de-
clare it contraband and to forbid Its sale to
be,ligerents. But In the Pacific Ocean there
will be Infinitely greater difficulty In obtaining
supplies for any nation not provided with coal
ing stations
OF about thirty recognized coaling stations
In the Pacific, Great Britain controls at least
twelve, the United States six, Chill and Peru
three EACH Mexico two, Ecuador and the Re
public OF Colombia each one, and the rest are
In China or Japan. The British posts are ex-
cellent mostly SO sheltered a. to permit loading
