The United States government. he
said, had been taken into the confidence
of His Majesty's government at every
stage of the proceedings. The Monroe
doctrine had no enemies in this coun-
try. 1t would be a great gain to civil
1zation if the United States would more
actively concern itself with arrange
ments to prevent the constantly recur-
ring difficulties between the European
Powers and the South American govern
ments, by getting the latter to observe
the principles of International courtesy.
Continuing, the Premier said there
was no ground for Lord Rosebery's
criticism with respect to British rela-
tons with either the United States or
Germany Some arrangement with the
latter for joint operations was the
most reasonable step possible for en-
forcing their several claims. Mr..
Balfour ridiculed the suggestion that
the alliance with Germany over Ven
ezuela was settled at the time of
Emperor Williams visit to King Ed
ward at Sandringham. He declared
that the whole story was mares

preserved and the cause of civiliza-
ton go forward, without fatal shocks,

only be solved by common action
upon the part of the great civilized
Powers. The European concert was
clumsy, but it was better than isolat-
ed action
