AMERICAN ALLIANCE

Following is the tegt of the address
Of LORD Chamberlain delivered At
Birmingham, England, which has
led to so much comment in other Of
the foreign nations, and which it was
thought might lead to an alliance
against England ana the United States:
After deprecating the constant
assertions that Lord Salisbury vas
discredited and the goverpment wea k
apd yascillating, Mr.. chamberlain
said;
"lf foreign countries hslieve and
act. upon those statements they will
ind themselves mpch mistaken, and
that courteous Diplomacy and graceful
concessions are not Incompatible with
a 6rm maintenance of the country's
honor and interests"
Then declaring that he intended to
make "rlain statement Of facts, un-r
fettered by the mysteries and reticen-
ces of the diplomacy Of half century
ago, WHICH, without> revealing secret
nego' iat,ons. should be understood by
the people" Mr.. Chamberlain said
he would accept the Judgment Of the
people as willingly as that of the wis,
est diplomat in the world. Referring
to the policy of strict isoiatipp that
England has pursued since thf Ori-
mean war, he remarked that this had
been perfectly justihable," and added
'::The time has arrived when Great
Britain pay be confronted by COM
binat,on Of powers, aid our first duty,
therefore, is TO draw all parts of the
empire into close unity, and our next
to paintain the bonds of perG,anent
unity with our kinsmen across the
Atlantic. Loud cheers).
There is a powerful and generous
nation, said Mr.. Cham berlain, using
our language. bred of our race and
having interests inde..tical with ours.
