OUR RELATIONS

@==
Peace Outlook Among Great Pow
ers Is Promising.
VIEWS OF FRED W. HOLLIS
Spanish and BOer Wars Have Taught the
Powers Lessons Masses Of People
Regard America as Their -
Best Friend.

LONDON, AUG. l4-Freierick W.
Hollis, United States member Of the in
ternat.onal court Of arbitration AZ The
Hague, who is in London after pro-
longed visits to S. Petersburg. Berlin
and Vienna, sails for New York today.
In talking OF his Impressions of the ne
lations between he European powers
and America. Mr.. Hollis, said;
Although my trip was Of a proteS-
sional and private character, have had
the opportunity Of seeing leading states
men and foreign ministers as well as
numerous publ!cIsts and international
lawyers. From all / heard I believe
that The outlook for peace among the
grea. powers could hardly have been
better. No European country wants
war any more than the Americans.
Notwithstanding appearances to the
contrary, public opinion Is today rhe
greatest European power. or course it
would be folly 70 say there Is no longer
any danger Of war, for popular excite
ment in any one quarter may upse, all
calculations Still, the existence Of a
permanent tribunal 10 decide interna-
tional disputes. the well recognized eco
nomic breakdown which war now
means for all belligerents, the lessons
OF the Boer war and the frigh;ful fiasco
in China-these elements OF the situa-
lion are working powerfully for peace.
The present feeling in Europe re-
garding the United States cannot be
characterized in one phrase. That /, Is
not everywhere friendly must, ! fear,
be admitted But this is no; strange.
The strength and prosperity OF the great
peaceful 'unmilitary' republic is not
pleasing 10 its opponents and critics OF
our institutions. Then there IS a nat
uraI Jealousy in industrial and ccmmer-
clal circles Of our economic progress.
THE talk about a combination Of
European powers against the United
States is fanciful and improbable. They
have greater cause Tor quarrels among
themselves than any Of them has
agsins. the United STATES. All talk to
the contrary in parliament and in the
press is, in my opinion, merely a cover
for an increase in tariffs by the par
ticular power I feel confident Of one
thing-whatever may be the attitude Of
particular governments or classes. the
masses Of the common people in Europe
regard us as their best fr=nds.
''They view the increased prestige and
power OF the United States in world pcl!-
tics with hope mad delight. They re-
cognize our new position as a graran-
tee Of peace and progress"
