reid ON THE
SHIPPING TRUST
States His Views at a Liver
pool Banquet
lie Says That EngIand'S Apprehension
Over NOrgan's Venture Is Much
Exaggerated

Liverpool, July Speaking at q
banquet given last night in his honor
by the American Chamber Of Com
merce, Whitelaw Reid. the head of the
United States embassy to the corona
tion Of King Edward, congratulated
the country upon the extraordinarily
rapid recovery of the king. Referring
to the conclusion of peace in South At
rica, Mr.. Reid said: 1T has now be-
come plain that this peace is to be
permanent. that the coalescing of the
hostile parties is to be genuine, and
that, as in the case of our Civil War,
there is to rise from the battlefelds OF
two determined and worthy foes a COM
pact, united power, embodying both and
greater than both. Your amnesty was
followed only a few weeks latsT by
ours"
Dealing with Liverpools improve
ment of her docks and the shipping
combine, Mr.. Reid said: IF you have
sustained the threatened dangers of
recent years, you can surely face with
equanimity the terrors of the Pierpont
Morgan venture. l suggest that the
apprehension aroused by the recent
change in shipping with which his
name is identified is somewhat exag-
gerated If you accept the gloomiest
view regarding the future control of
the Atlantic carrying trade, it does
not follow that New York would use
that control to weaken the port most
important to 1t, namely, Liverpool.
Monopoies are not supposed to thrive
by damaging their best customers. Be
sides, the monopoly in this case is
fancifuL None has been created; |
think none is desired, and know none
can long be successful.
II do not for a moment admit the
possibility of war between our two
nations" said Mr.. Reid. Nature re-
volts against it, and all the interests
of that vast body of English-speaking
people who in both hemispheres lead
the world upward. forbid it," The
speaker declared that neither Great
Britain nor the United States would
ever rule the world as did ancient
Rome. or seek to do so. though there is
no question that the English-speakine
race leads the world in moral, mater
ial and intellectual progress.
