David Mills Thinks the United States
Will Strike a Snag.

London, Feb. 22.-David Mills. in an
article in the March number of The En-
pire Review, written while he was Cana
dian Minister of Justice, bitterly assails
President Roosevelt and Senator Lodges
Interpretation of Monroeism. He declares
that the United States ARE so long
enamored of their own political insti-
buttons and so devoted to self worship
that they think no others are deserving
of admiration"
Mr.. Mills maintains that it would be
to the state of Names commercial adj
vantage to enter the Canadian fedora
ton and says: America has no more
right to dictate to South and Central
America than to Canada"
In conclusion. Mr.. Mills quoted the
United States reply to the Barbary
States: 1--WE prefer war to tribute :"
adding the United States must not be
surprised when the occasion arises If she
receives from European statesmen an
answer not unlike that she gave to the
Bey of Algiers. 1t is certain that a SINH
lar conclusion will be reached by Europe
whenever an attempt Is made to en-
force against any great European power
so degrading a species of vassalage as
that embraced by the modern Monroe
doctrine"
