Anglo-saxon race is most timely.

by good feeling and sound policy. Look

America may apply her, enormous re-
sources to the creation of a great navy

The Continental Press.
Dispatches received here show that the
speech delivered by Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain at Birmingham last night
was widely reproduced in Berlin and
Paris. where the newspapers print long
editorials thereon.
The papers show rage at the discovery
that an English statesman advocates
the abandoning of the British policy Of
isolation. yet seeks an alliance outside
either branch of the European Concert.
The Temps. of Paris. says it thinks
an Angio-American alliance would be
more valuable to Great Britain than to
the United States, which when the pres
ent danger is over. is likely TO resume
IT'S favorite occupation of twisting the
lions tail.
The Journal des Debats prints violent
personal attack on Mr.. Chamberlain. II
calls him sort of civilian British Bou-
LANCER 1t laments his advocacy Of an
Angio-American alliance as an abandon
ment of the principles which have proved
the dignity and strength Of the conserva-
tive party in England. The paper says it
cannot ulQeTSIdlu MI N3ldlilbClitiiii : OD-
iect in frankly admitting the need of an
ally and making an alliance with the
United States the pivot of his policy.
The Berlin papers express contempt for
Mr. Chamberlain's confession Of the bank
ruptey of the British policy.
The National zeitung says it does not
believe Great Britain is yet the colossus
with clay feet depicted by Mr.. Chamber
lain. though there are many grounds for
pessimistic speculation and many hard
tasks await her.
The Neueste Nachrichten says that the
speech is a warning example to all states
of the evil effects of two ministers having
a voice in foreign affairs.
The Republique Franchise, of Paris,
says that Mr. Chamberlain spoke of Rus
sia in terms which statesman ought not
to allow himself TO use.

Comments of Leading Journals on

Upon such n Proposifion-Ameri

New York, May Is, a. m.-The Sun
this morning, which has heretofore
strongly opposed any alliance between the
United States and England, says:
THE Hon. Joseph Chamberlain's speech
at Birmingham points more emphatically
than any earlier guide post 20 harmo-
nious relation between England and
America, if need be- as against the rest
of the world
''The statesman on our side of the
water who will not consider any propo-
sition of this magnitude with an open
mind is unworthy of his influence if he
has any
For its proper discussion all that we
need is craftsmanship as keen, as alert
as far-seeing and as resolutely intent on
guarding the interests of the United
States as Mr. Chamberlain's is in behalf
of England"
The Times.
The Times says Mr.. Chamberlain's
speech is the most memorable declaration
that has been made to an English-speak-
ing audience in either hemisphere for a
generation and that it reads more like
a revelation than a forecast. If the Pres
ident of the United States were author
lied to conclude secret treaties of alliance,
we might easily believe that our country
and Great Britain were already united
by tie much closer than the friendly un-
derstanding of which We have all been
talking" and I'VE are at liberty to con-
clude. as continental powers certainly
will conclude, that the negotiations for
an understanding between the United
States and Great Britain have reached a
more advanced stage than the public had
suspected.
Whatever may be the likelihood that a
combination of European powers may CON
front England. we know. and Mr.. Cham
berlaln very well knows. that it would be
at once very much diminished by the
knowledge or even the well-founded sus-
picion of a unity of interest and Of policy
between The two greatest and most pro-
gressiye nations of the globe"
The Tribune.
The Tribune. while making no direct
+ reference to the Chamberlain speech. says
1 in discussing the outlook for new Amer
/ lean policy Of Imperialism:
I'VE must not let petty things Interfere
with great interests. and if we are to be
a power in the East, and we may have
to be whether we want to be or not, one
OF our chief interests is friends. We are
strong enough and big enough TO main
tain our rights in the Philippines or any
where else. and we do not need TO go
hunting alliances. But a far better way
of maintaining our position in the world
than relying on our might is by cultiva-
ting good will, so that the preponderant
sentiment of the world is with US rather
than against US. Our best alliance is the
friendship of all those, men and nations
who work for higher civilization and
more cordial human relations. In hold
ing such place of peaceful power there
can be no doubt that English sympathy
can be of the greatest assistance. and we
should do nothing to dampen the ardor,
of English friendship"
