GREAT BRITAIN OUR NATURAL ALLY

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir have followed the series Of letters on Eng
land in Civil War Days" which have appeared in
The Tribune and must say that, even admitting
the truth Of all they contain, the revival of 1t
day betrays in your correspondents q regrettabe
inability to forgive what is past which is espe-
cially unfortunate at time when the people OF
the two nations are coming to a better under
standing of each other That for the first century
Of our existence Independent State Great
Britain was avowedly enemy no one will at
tempt to deny or to justify. But how many OF
the Continental nations without the same reason
to be hostile to US, friendly? The
French, whose Wanted friendship for raised
the humble but to bend the proud captured our
ships and impressed seamen at the beginning
OF the last century with the same nonchalance
that characterized the acts of Great Britain. and
in those events Of the Civil War days which
the cause Of well merited I'll feeling toward Eng
land the names of these two countries moro
often linked together than not.
The Monroe Doctrine called forth by the
aggressions Of Russia whose periodical protesta-
tons Of good will toward the United States so i'll
comport with her daily acts in China, and the
jealousy and hatred which have marked Germanys
relations with US, from Samoa to Venezuela, have
more than once brought the two nations to the
verge Of war. That Great Britain should have
been hostile to was the natural consequence of
revolution which deprived her of the most valua-
BILE of her transmarine possessions. and gave her
world. Shortsighted as such hostility was, it was
natural and had the cause Of the Confederacy pre-
vailed in 1865 the feeling between the loyal States
and the nation then born would not have been
more cordial. But now that time and kinship of
blood and community Of interest fast healing
the wounds of TO- and 1872. why drag up the
errors of 1865? We have heard enough of the Stamp
tax and the right Of search! Now, let US hear Of
Samoa and the rice fields OF China, where Briton
and American fought man to and shoulder to
shoulder, and Of the bloodless battle of Manila
Bay. In our dealings with the powers Of Europe
our policy will ever be to maintain relations of
cordially with all and of subserviency to none;
but we must not allow ourselves to be blndd
the fact that whenever international friendships
have outlived national eXpedency they have had
for q basis a common language, common origin
and common destiny. Great Britain is
natural ally" and once the two nations bury
a hostility which has been only too mutual
she will become an ally in reality, whose friend
ship end only when the waters that roll
between our shores become thicker than the blood
in her veins. GEORGE II. BUTLER, JR.
