European Jealousy of America.
70 the Editor of The Evening Star.

The communications in yesterdays issue
of The Star in reply to my observations re-
garding the powers gave me certain sat
isfaction, showing as they did that my
article had struck home. These writer's
may now understand how patriotic Ameri-
cans have felt who for generations have
seen the press Of Europe teeming with
abuse of America, and have been forced
to hear discourteous observations about
Americans even when guests at private
entertainments. The expediency of pub
fishing the statements I made may be a.
matter for honest difference Of opinion
The powers being enmeshed by their own
complications in any action they may take
jointly or singly, will not be influenced
by American opinion. but by what they
consider their own interests in view Of
their growing, watchful jealousy of Amer
lea. There are thoughtful persons who
think it important that our people and gov
ernment should labor under no deusons
at this crisis as to the real animus and
possible intrigues Of Europe. Forewarned
forearmed. Our short-sighted parsimony
finds us now with an insufficient navy, al
though money spent in our own ship yards
would return to the people. Are we like
wise going to blind ourselves, ostrich like,
to the real opinions of Europe?
If any one chooses to believe that France.
in the condition in which she then was, on
the edge of chaos, unselfshly spent 800
1000 for a nascent republic rather than
for her own interests, that man like
Napoleon ceded the Louisiana purchase out
Of love to the United States rather than
because he was too embarrassed to look
after it and needed the money, then his
credulity is past argument.
For the rest, l do not see that my facts
have been met by anything but intemper-
ate personal filings or side issues The
Isolated case of the Harvard proves moth
ing against the general trend of public
opinion in Europe. 1 am in a position
to reafiirm all my statements, any inter
ested statements to the contrary notwith-
star ding.
AS for my opportunities for Judging the
status Of foreign nations, 1t is sufficient
to observe that I have had the honor to
represent the United States as minister
and consul general. Officially or as a pr!-
vate citizen 1 have passed twenty-siX years
among the people of whom have written.
and have enjoyed abundant opportunities
for studying their literature and arts, their
history, institutions, character and opiu-
ions. AS to France, country which for
many reasons l like and admire, 1 am as
familiar with its literature and language
as with my own.
So far as I am concerned, this discussion
ends here, the truth of my statements re-
quiring no further argument
