britain was never so prosperous MS j.
Is to-day. In spite or all their attempts
to destroy our credit and inlure our
trade"
But tariff Is not the only question
before the British mind. The name OF
Roosevelt takes up as much space az
ever, though his personality has woa-
fully shrunk.
The Daily News thinks that ",this
extraordinary Roosevelt fever is due
to the present economic condition of
America 1t Is not due. 1t thinks to
the personality of that strenuous In
diVidual Roosevelt Is obviously
man of no particular intellectual
acuteness; he has no lofty ideals, he
has achieved no great political results
IN his seven years Of the presidency :"
While the Manchester Guardian ucr-
maps next to the London Times as
the most Important paper in Great
bfitain, goes back over Roosevelts
record and makes damning resume
4 OF MS gross Inconsistencies. The Guar
dian shows how Mr. Roosevelt said In
1889 that Political economists have
pretty generally agreed that protection
is vicious In theory and harmful in
practice" And then 1t goes on to
rehearso the perfectly well-known
fact that when Mr. Roosevelt was made
President he said nothing OF free trade
in 1901-'o2-'03. In 1904 he went SO
far as TO denouncc the demands that
had been previously made to revise the
tariff.
In 1905 he thought OF making the
fight of his life to overcome the re-
slstence OF ndpattcrs. but rev
conferences with Mr.. Cannon and
other Republican leaders In the two
houses suf1lced to kill this enthu-
slasm."
So the English are finding out some
thing for themselves about American
politics and American politicians. ana
the discoveries are not being confined
to Great Britain.
