BALF0UR DEFENDS THE
COURSE OF ENGLAND
IN MAKING ALLIANCE.

Liverpool, Feb. 13.-Speaking at a recep-
ton here this evening, Mr.. Balfour an
nounced that he had received a communi-
cation from Foreign Secretary Lansdowne,
saying that all the difficulties regarding the
Venezuelan question had been removed and
that no hitch whatever need delay the final
settlement any appreciable time.
Mr.. Balfour, in a speech at a luncheon
given by the Conservative Club here to-
day. declared the British Government had
no choice but to take action against Vene-
zuela. The Ministers had shown no undue
haste. no greed for money and no inhu-
mainly.
The United States" he said. were taken
into the confidence at every stage. Tho
Monroe Doctrine has no enemies in this
country. 1t would be a great gain to civili-
cation IL the United States were more ac-
lively concerned with arrangements to pre-
vent the constantly recurring difficulties
between the European Powers and the
South American Governments by getting
the latter to observe the principles of in
ternational courtesy.
Continuing. he said there was no ground
for Lord Rosebery's criticism with respect
TO British relations with either the United
States or Germany. Some arrangement
with the latter for joint operations was the
most reasonable step toward enforcing their
claims.
Mr.. Baifour rid.chled the suggestion that
the alliance with Germany over Venezuela
was settled at the time of Emperor Will
liam's visit to Sandringham. He continued:
III the peace Of Europe is to be preserved
and the cause of civilization go forward
without fatal results it must be by the in
creasing use of cooperation between the
Europeon Powers.
1.-The Balkan States are now giving
anxiety and the question can only be solved
by common action on the part of the great
civilized Powers. European concert is
clumsy. but 1t is better than isolated action"
Mr.. Balfour implored all those who had
any command over the sources OF public
opinion to refrain from indulging In the
easy task OF embittering the relations be-

GERMAN OFFICIALS SAY
UNITED STATES COULD
NOT BE "ELIMINATED.'

Berlin. Feb. ia semi-oficial answer to
the criticisms Of the German Government
for allowing the United States to have any
thing to do with the negotiations between
the allies and Venezuela was issued to-day
as follows:
The United States participation in the
settlement of the Venezuelan controversy
IS regarded In many quarters as unfavor-
able and az hindering the result of negotia-
tons. Such a position can easily be under
stood, but justification for this criticism
does not exist when the consequences Of
the United States participation are used as
a basis for attacking the Government"
Certainly we would have reached the
object desired more rapidly and better IL
We had been ler alone with Venezuela, but
every politician that knows tho A, r. c of
this question knows absolutely in advance
that We would not have been let alone"
Means for eliminating the United States
from the controversy there were not. and
there are none now. A statesman who
had acted on this assumption would have
lost the game from the start.
Even If President Roosevelt and his ad-
visers wanted to remain neutral. as they
tried to do. American public opinion would
have compelled them to aid Venezuela in
lASSiSbNS idiLii OIL lIle European IOWerS.
1T is not a question of the imaginary de-
fects and weaknesses OF German states
manship. but of fixed, inmutable facts, ig-
norlng which would have created a Ger
man-American complication in place of the
German-VeneZuelan incident. Many ten
denotes at home and abroad were working
| precisely in this direction, but quite with
| out success.
THE patriotic publicists who call for
treating this question according to the Bis
MARKHAM method can rest assured that this
method is being applied. Carefully nursing
the friendship OF the United States Is a
Bismarckian tradition. as document testify.
In his relations with the United States he
never wore cuirassiers' boots. as Is now so
often demanded. and in the Samoa question
he was perhaps less exacting than his pres
ent successor"
The Government will ask the Reichstag
to appropriate a supplementary credit to de-
fray the expenses of the Venezuelan expedi-
ton. The amount will be fixed after the
raising Of the blockade.
