NEW YORK, Oct SO.-David Mus,
minister of justice for Canada, has an
article in the November number " the
Empire Review. says the Tr5une's
London correspondent. In IL the Mon
roe d0c;rine and the inter-oceanic canal
conditions under which the Monroe doc-
time vas proclaimed ana the Clayton

in detail and the conclusions are drawn
that the United States government IS

to restrict the commerce OF other states
For its own advantage, THAI Canada viii
Tever be content to submit to any ether
rule than that % perfec; equality re
sPecting a canal and that her inter-
ests must not be sacrificed by the

and that the United King1om must not
yield 10 wha. ne describes as an am

The real object Of the article, con-

that the United States has taken pos
