CARNEGIE'S PEACE PLAN.

Carnegies proposal, briefly cabled here time ag
that Great Britain and America cooperate by treaties
ing to that Great Britain should protect American Pacif
possessions and American protect British Atlantic
siOns based it appears by detailed reports to
tent the AngOJapanese treaty of alliance In letter
the New York Tribune answering editorial criticisms of til
plan, Carnegie developed it as follows:
Suppose that Britain and America, the two English
speaking branches of the race to agree that the
United States would protect the possessions of Great
Britain the North Atlantic, including the West In
dies, and that Britain would defend the American coast
O the Pacific and the Philippines and Hawaii.
In the of one of those powers going to war; the
guarantee of the other, far the territory stated is
concerned would preserve it from attack, and the
knowing this would be relieved from anxiety to this
Therefore instead of two fleets, in the Pa
cfc and one in the Atlantic, should require only
the Atlantic fleet If Britain went to she could
assured that what America had guaranteed to de-
fend would give her concern and she gould there
fore concentrate her fleets.
Surely this is obvious
Vague talk of between nations should always be
carefully sfted What nations go to war at sea?
War between France and Britain between France
and America is highly improbable that this may be
dismissed not within the range of probabilities.
Russia is negligible quantity; she has no navy TIA
liam and Austrian naves need anxiety There
remains but other nation in all Europe, Germany,
which will have great navy in due time, although
not as as expected; but if Germany were at war
Britain certainly she would never attack any Bit
ish possessions that would compel her also to deal ST.
multaneOus1y with the American navy in addition nor
if she were at war with America would she think of
touching American possessions in the Pacific which
Britain had guaranteed against attack. So that, Mr.
Editor if Britain and America have such treaty as
Japan and Britain have, improved, no doubt in some

Question.

The State street property owners are

lighting of the street after the present

These arches would mean that the
