Mr.. BRYAN EXPLAINS
ADMIRAL PEARY REBUKE
Declares Explorers Prominence
Makes His Expansion Speech
Little Less Than Crime.

Secretary Bryan has made state
ment in explanation of his criticism OF
the recent speech OF Rear Admiral
Peary on possible territorial expansion
of the United States.

1.-The advantages of free speech are so
great that We are compelled to accept
with these advantages the evils that
follow from an occasional abuse OF the
by persons sufficiently promi-
nent to secure publicity for their
views. 1t Is to be regretted, however
that q man known to the public should
SO much enjoy indulging his imagina-
ton as to be Indifferent to the effect
which his utterances may have upon
this country's relations with other ma
tons.
Not Inspired.

pressing his private opinion-but his

his words. He fixes 100 years as the
period during which 1t will be neces-
sary for this government to secure
control Of the continent, or disappear
Such a prediction from an obscure man
would be foolish; from one in his posi-
ton it is little less than crime. His
prediction is based upon an assumption
which has been demonstrated to be

1t has been a century since the
boundary line between the United
States and Canada was established
porous today than they we're a. hun
dred years ago. This country shares
the large part Of North America with
several Spanish speaking republics, and
there is no reason why there should be
any dispute between them in a CEN
fury or in many centuries. The idea
that a nation can grow only geo
graphically is as un-American as it is
untrue"
Rear Admiral's Rejoiner.
Rear Admiral Peary, on reading the
above comment. pointed out that he
hrst presented the idea that the en-
tire North American world segment is
the eventual destiny of the United
states in public address in Lon
