Lord Beresford said to a represen-
tatlVe OF the Associated Press.

ping combine. If the Morgans had paia
me the compliment of Offering me
something in that connection which
they have not, 1 should have been oh
hged to decline. 1 hope to pick IN in
formation regarding the administrative
element In American business. That's
Where America excels. We do not know
now to administer here. Our workmen
are as good as theirs, but our admin
istratlons are feeble. Our companies
want Lords and Commoners a. direc-
tors, who know nothing about bus1
ness. Yours demand straight business
men who not only know, but put their
money into the concerns of which they
are directors. If I can teach the peo-
pie mere to adopt American business
methods we can then have greater in
ter-communication Of capital and inter
ests between the two countries. It is
the only way and once England and
America get on a profit SHARING ba.;s
the world will not dare to interfere
with either. Neither of US will stand
political alliance. 1t is impossible.
Changing parties and the sentiments
OF both countries forbid it. 1 frankly
confess that business alliance would he-
more to England's than Americas ad
vantage. America can look after her
self She can fight the world, either
1fom an economic or any other view
point. They have not begun to realize,
here yet that the long period during
which Great Britain held the monopoly

Panama Canal Negotiations

Washington, January S.-Mr. Herran,
the Columbian charge here and Mr.
Cromwell, counsel for the Panama Ca
nal Company, called at the state de-
partment today by arrangement, sepa-
rately though in pursuit OF common
purpose. Naturally in the incomplete
state Of the canal negotiations, the
state department officials are unwilling
to discuss details. Mr.. Cromwell, how
ever, was willing to be quoted to the
effect that in the judgment of the canal
company officials. the negotiations are
progressing satisfactorily and promise
to result in settlement and the sign
ing of a treaty.
