Other European powers have been con-

But such is the fact. and 1t Is to be

E.1lans.. Perennial Error.

| Almost daily some well-meaning
Englishman expresses sincere surprise
that all his country's efforts to con-
ciliate American friendship do not sue
ceed. He really cannot understand
why hostility to England should con-
tinually flame out In the United States.
He attributes that hostility to school
histories to "the Irish vote" to all
sorts of causes save the true one. The
fact IL that all the unpleasant frictions
between the two countries arise from
England's perennial failure to take a
definite position toward the American
peoples fundamental principle Of In
ternational politics.
In the current Nineteenth Century
Samuel E. Moffett states that princi-
pie with clearness that should carry
conviction to the British mind. "The
United States is." he says. "and in
tends to remain, the paramount pow
er OF the Western hemisphere. This
determination is ingrained in the flber
of the American people. II has passed
beyond all possibility Of alteration.
For other powers the only question IL
whether they will accept 1t or collide
with Il. II this fundamental principle
be once accepted. no country will have
any trouble in maintaining harmonious
relations with the United States"
England's perennial error. the cause
Of her failure to allay American suspi-
