An Anecdote That shows the Observing

ALL EUROPE MAY UNITE
LONDON SPECTATOR DISCUSSES A
PROSPECTIVE COMBINATION.
An Alliance Against the Progressive
and Commercially Aggres-
sive United States.

LONDON, April 19-The Spectator to-
morrow will discuss 1.-The Continent and
America" taking as a text a portion of an
interview with Admiral Count Canevaro at
Toulon, which the Spectator believes has
not attracted the attention il deserves. Ad-
miral Canevaro, in concluding his utter
ances regarding the triple and dual alli-
ances having given Europe thirty years of
peace, said: This fact would, perhaps lead
European nations to consider the possibility
and necessity of uniting against America.
Africa and Asia as the future of civilization
will require them to do so.
The Spectator does not consider this the
rash outburst of the IMAM in the street."
for Admiral Canevaro has been Italian
minister of foreign affairs. His utter
ance." the Spectator will say. corresponds
exactly with that of Count Goluchowsld
(Austro- Hungarian foreign minister). and
with all the recent trend of affairs. The
annoyance of the continent with America,
which is very deep, is based three rea-
sons, the first being the dread, or rather
the conviction, that competition with
America is nearly impossible, her wealth
and energy being too great. Both are en-
pIoyed, the continent thinks, TO monopolize
trade, and so TO control in the end all the
wealth of the world, idea not without
advocates even among ourselves" The
Spectator mentions the giant trusts and
protection and refers TO the Americans as
mot scrupling to commence quick and
severe reprisals If European governments
fence them off with tariffs
''The second reason" the article will say,
lis that America IS sadly in the way in
Asia. The whole action of the Washington
government in the Chinese muddle points
70 the conclusion that, although the Amer
leans took the Philippines, they are not
willing 10 see any but native powers in
control OF the richest countries of Asia"
The third reason is Americas attitude in
South America. She will neither take 1t
nor let anybody else. 1.-The total result is a
bitter dislike of America, mixed with dread.
our object is only to awaken the Ameri-
cans from an illusion To- induce them to in
crease their fleet and to persuade them TO
think steadily out what they are doing.
They may rely uron it that the continent
will lose nothing by want Of planning, and
that when the alliance against America of
which Admiral Canevaro talks is trans
muted into facts il will be full grown and
full armed.
