New York Journal Of Commerce: The
more the history OF the Alaskan bound
airy Is examined the stronger does the
case. Of the United States appear. In
the early part OF the century Russia as
serted claims over the North Pacific
that other maritime nations could not
admit, and actually attempted 10 as
sumo Jurisdiction for 100 miles from
shore. But its reason for attempting
this was the protection OF the Russian
fishing stations and the inshoFe fish,
cries. England and the United States
made no claim to the inshore fisheries,
or the coast, but they did insist upon
the right OF their whalers to go within
less than 100 miles Of the shore In the
pursuit OF their game. The correspond
ence between Great Britain and Russia
shows that the former made persistent
efforts TO get access to the sea, but Rus
sia never conceded this. and finally an
agreement was reached Russia waving
within 100 miles Of the shore and Great
Britain acknowledging Russian owner
ship Of strip not less that ten leagues
wide along the shore. The cores
pOndence shows that Russia Insisted
upon the control OF the entire coast, I'M
broken by British ports, in the interest
OF her fisheries, and that Great Britain
conceded this All the rights OF Rus
sia under the treaty OF 1925 belong now
10 the United States. and Canada has
no rights that Great Britain did not Sc
cure under that treaty.

and discovered that one Of the members
had fallen asleep. browning With in

court officials, and In few seconds the
slumberer was shaken rudely into con-

There does not seem to be any au-
thority for the report that has been
published concerning an alliance OF
several republics Of South America TO
resist supposed aggressions on the part
Of the United States. The report OF
such an arrangement. or such an In
tention. grew out OF the visit President
Roca 10 Brazil. the Argentine Republic,
Paraguay and Uruguay. It seems to
have been largely matter Of speeula-
tlon.
There really was no excuse for any
fear on the part Of these South Ameri-
can republics that the United states
had any designs upon them; any inter-
ference that this government might ex-
ereise in the Affairs OF these countries,
except perhaps a diplomatic influence
in the line Of assistance in the main
talnance Of their Independence against
European interference, which would
accord with the Observance Of the Non
roe doctrine.
The New York Sun Is correct when
It compares. In commenting on this
subject, the experience OF these repub-
lies to that OF Venezuela. which had
our protection against European ag-
erosion, or of Brazil. which found our
watchful sympathy in her hour of need,
In order that her freedom Of .action as
an American republic should be pre-
served. The Sun truthfully maintains
further:
ut is true that we have recently an
nexed Porto Rico and the Philippines.
as the result Of war, but we have never
gone to war with any South American
state. The nearest approach to it was
with Chill, and the ample redress for
the Valparaiso outrage against our
sailors averted the danger"
All talk about a defensive alliance
among the South American republics
against the United States Is the highest
piece Of absurdity. There Is no send-
ment in this country that warrants any
such suspicion among them. 1t is prob
able that the report is entirely untrue.
The United States is thoroughly well
satisfied with its conceded leadership
among all the republics of the western
hemisphere. and has no covetous dis
position toward any of its South Amer
lean sister republics.
