ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

Through the complaccncy Of John
Hay, the pro-BritiSh secretary OF state,
England is in actual possession of
American territory equal in area TO
of England has iloatcd over Il portion
of Alaska for several years and is like
ly to float there for many years to
come to the humiliation of American
citizens if John Hay remains in office
1t is the only valuable territory that
England has obtained in either hcmi
sphere without fighting for it. Had
there been any one else in the seat
once occupied by Blaine and Olney
han the .An@lomaniac who has brought
trouble to Venezuela. England could
not secure praccable possession Of one
foot of American soil. Suppose she
had tried to get territory from any
European power in the same way that
she obtained it from the United States.

she would have been laughed to scorl.
If she tried to take forciblc possession
of territory in dispute. war would en-
sue. But John Hay. by his modus
vivendi, ceded the territory to his
"mother country"and she retains it for
all it is worth. OF course, John Hay
would not be so generous at the eX-
pensc of the. United States to any other
power than England. But where did
he receive the authority to cede Ameri
can territory to England for any
length of time? Does he not know
that England will not give up pos
session of any land she acquires until
she is compelled to?

ent acquisition of territory-a situa-

1t looks as if the high handed pro-
ceeding was pre-arranged by the Euro
pean powers and the Washington adj
ministration. In his two messages to
Congress, President Roosevelt gave his
version Of the Monroe Doctrine to en-
able Germany and England to collect
their debts by force instead of by arbi-
tration. John Hay is a denationalized
American who would go to the utmost
limits to accommodate England. He
has now gone to the end of his. tether
and must tell these powers that no
seizures and prolonged occupation of
territory will be tolerated by the Unit
ed States, and that the Monroe Doc
trine will be enforced. If England and
Germany have legitimate claims
against any South American republic

In the discussion of Canadian reel

In the discussion of Canadian reci-
proclty the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton has again come to the front The
opponents of reciprocity think nothing
can he done to promote reciprocal re-
htions until the Alaskan boundary dis
pute is settled. The advocates of reel
procity, in order to bring it about,
would let England have the Alaskan
territory without more ado. The
American people, however, are deter
mined that England shall not possess
one foot of American territory if it
does not of right belong to her.
Until gold was discovered in Alaska,
England never laid claim to any of
the territory purchased from Russia.
While Russia held it she never claim
ed amy part of it. y joint high COM
mission was appointed to inquire into
the claims, but it adjourned sine die
without reaching any agreement. John
Hay then kindly permitted England to
occupy the territory and she holds it
to this day. The Minneapolis Journal
refers to the Alaskan question in Il,
recent issue as follows:
The Journal is not among those ad-
vocates of reciprocity that are willing,
to sacrifice great national interests for
selfish local interests. But the Alas
kan question should be settled. 1t is
pregnant with dreadful possibilities to
say nothing of petty irritation and
annoyance. Secretary Hay and the
administration should not be content
to let it drift. They owe it to the
country and the peace of the world to
settle it definitely. In Great Britains
present mood of graphing fast to the
United States, it should be possible to
get rid of this dispute in an honorable
and satisfactory manner
We are glad that there is one i'll
fluential daily paper that is not willing
to cede England amy American terri
tory in dispute. The matter should be
attended to in Congress when Cana
dian reciprocity comes up, and the
sooner the better.
