LONDON, Nov. Accommodating on the
new treaty the Daily Chronicle says:
Lord Lansdowne has surrendered
everything without compensation. The
government has climbed down from the
position they had deliberately chosen,
and although the disappearance of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty will not cause
much regret, many people will sigh for
the business cabinet which Lord Rose
berry recently suggested In conclusion
the Chronicle characterizes the new trea-
ty as "a full acceptance by Great Brit
ain of the Monroe doctrine" and says
.ft would be strange indeed if the SEN
ate should object to such a one-sided
bargain
