The Guarantee of Neutrality
Worthless.

There is not u word in the Hay-Paunc"-
fote Treaty which ahrogates the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty. or wipes that old instru-
ment off the slate. or buries tia bones. or
modifes the letter Of its extinct obliga-
lions in any particular save one.
The one exception Is the unnecessary
permission to this Government TO build the
canal at It's own risk and with It's own money
and TO exercise In regard to It's manage
mcn' functions falsely termed " control
the ac.lll control being reserved TO a con-
cert OF the worlds powers.
In every other respect a vote for the
Hay-Pauncofote Treaty Is IA vote TO revive
the stipull .ons OF the tlayton-Bulwer
Treaty. Mr.. HAYS treaty Is n supple
mont and n rccnactmcnt. not a ST. a-titute
or a repeal.
Among the stipulations ii proposes to
revive and rcenact il This regarding the
joint guarantee Of neutrality:
The Governments Of tie lni'i states and Great
Bri,qin always understand that th'S Ir
teolon and guafnr,'" aye granted ront'iionaIy, ana
may bc Withdrawn ~ b,ia G"'srnm"nts OF ciiA-r
Government. Neither party. however, shall
withdraw the a'ufcsa,t protection and guarantee
NltlOll UTN ElNANa % iN'A''AN ''A''' 200"
The occa, ions iustifying the withdrawal
OF either Government upon six months
notice are stated in the same article. One
OF them is oppressive cxactions or UNI
reasonable tolls upon the passengers.
vessels. goods, wares. merchandise or
other articles"
That Is to say, II events should be carry
ing us toward war with another European
nation than England. Germany for ex-
ample, and England. although not con-
temrlating actual hostili,ies with US. should
find it to her interest to promote the Ger
man cause rather than the American. she
could withdraw from her guarantee of
neutrality under this treaty merely by
making n protcxt Of Dissatisfaction with
the tolls, thus giving Germany a free hand
at the canal without objection on the part
of Great Britain.
Thus the sole practical benefit which
can be alleged in Great Britain's Joint
guarantee of neutrality j. tcrninahle upon
six months notice on her part.
A worthless Xix months guarantee in
confederation for our surrender for all
time Of the right Of independent action
on this continent. and our Remuneration
for all time Of the Monror Doctrine,
Such vii he the consequence of failure TO
abrogate the Clay'on-Bulwcr Treaty.
Is it conc,ivabl. that the American
Senate, with open eyes, will invite the in
fanny OF such a bargain?

Mr. IABorcHERE charged that this trust
holds SOS shares In Tubes. Limited. and
355 in kiLioTT's Metal Company. and that.
consequently. the Colonial Secretary had
n direct %pccun!ary interest in those two
firm of Admiralty contractors.
So much for the accusations. Now let
us see how Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN met them,
In the first place, he did not assert that he
had ever demonstrated with the Wa Once
and the Admiralty for placing orders with
companies in which his near relatives were
VIGOROUSLY shareholders, and of many Of
which they were chairmen. According
To Mr.. 1~ABorcHERE. the only protest which
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN was known to have made
was one directed against the smallness
Of the business given to KySocB. Limited.
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN admitted on Monday
In the House Of Commons that he was
personally a shareholder in two Of the
companies named. He did not deny that
his wife was a shareholder in a third. With
regard TO these companies, his defence,
II sifted. will be found to consist Of two
assertions: First. his colleagues on the
Treasury Bench are all tarred with the
same brush. Secondly. his personal in

Scarcely more satisfactory was the ex-
PLANTATION made on Monday by the Colonial
SeCr"tary's son. Mr.. AUSTEN CHAMBER
LAIN. now Financial Secretary Of the Treas
ury. He said that. with the exception OF
HoSkINs. Limited. he held no sha res in

noting whose fortunes he would naturally
be interested. He admitted his connection
with HosRIss. Limited. but defended 1t
on the ground that he had not broken any
" rule We pointed out above that he
escaped the penalties prescribed by an act
of GEORGE III. through bringing clerks and
cashiers Into the company with on share
each. This. obviously, was to break the
law in the spirit, If not in the letter.
Was Mr.. JOSEPH CHAMBERLArN's reply TO
the charges satisfactory: 1t seems 10 have
