English WeekIIes Not So Friendly
As the DalIIes.
THE SPEAKER VERY ACRID.
"h Canal Question, saturday Review
says England Has Sacrificed All for
a Problematiesi Friendship,

London, Dec. 1.-THE comment Of the
weeklles on President Roosevelt's mes
sage to Congress Is not generally 80
friendly as that OF the dallles. The
speaker deyotes the entire space to
aerld comment on the trust references.
ne paper declares the Presidents
treatment of grave economic situa-
uoh Is trivial in form and unsatlsfac-
tory IN substance, adding. did we
not entertain genuine belief in the
goodness of the Presidents intentions,
we should regard his diagnosis OF the
INDUSTRIAL situation as insincere."
me Speakers word picture of the
widespread ruin, corruption, economic
yranhy and domestic aHiiction brewing
over IN America as the result of trust
domination would be a revelation TO
we most ardent antitrust advocate IN
lhe United states The article con-
cludes az follows.
F0r such a student Of Industrial
polltlcs as Mr., Roosevelt processes TO
NC 10 ignore these conditions is an act
OF intellectual daring that does him
niue credit. The upshOt OF the mes
sage Is to minimize and misrepresent
the dangers Of trusts and to postpone
any serious attempt to grapple with
them"
The Saturday Review, on the other
iand, remarks;
All industrial undertakings in the
lIplfn1
organized than in any other country as
we nave learned to our cost The trust
is the last word of this system OF sell
entillc organization and the President
Is right when he declines to hamper
the captains of industry"
Turning to the canal treaty, however,
the Saturday Review declares Great
Britain has sacrificed everything to
gain the problematical friendship OF the
United States, (which win last Just
as long as II takes America to build d
fleet and not a day beyond
The outlook is mildly commendatory
on the message 1t says
THE anarchist program Is splendid
In theory but in practice it is impos-
sible,"
AS regards reciprocity the Outlook re-
marks.
FRANKLY selfish America will accept
freely whatever benefits herself but
VIII be careful no infant industry Is
squeezed out Of the perambulator."
An article on President Roosevelt
will occupy considerable space in to-
days issue of the Spectator. HIS
message to Congress Is highly COM
mended.
Here at any rate" says the Spec
tator, is a man who knows what he
means. and he means that the world
shall know it also"
Briefly, the Spectator will approve of
President Rooseyets attitude both in
regard to tile trusts and the foreign
policy but the paper will admit that
European powers will never accept
Monroeism in theory and only in prac-
tlce as long as the American navy is
strong enough to support it,
The Spectator is especially glad that
President Roosevelt Is inclined 10 face
the possibility of the need to amend
the Constitution, which American
statesmen always regard as too sacred
TO be touched
The Spectator will also contain O
highly eulogstic article on President
Roosevelt's essay, THE Citizen and the
Public Man." and viii say that IN this
essay one sees a man with the In
flexible moral vigor Of Cromwell,
I'VE are convinced that President
Roosevelt is going to play great part
and a good part II he continues his
work in the spirit which inspires this
remarkable sermon. He will prove the
most sweetermg influence In the whole
lump of public life IN America that has
been shown for many years"
