of America.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sirs As your valuable paper has no neon
siderable Canadian audience, would apprecl-
ate the opportunity Of informing my fellow
ccuntrymen through its columns OF way 10
win the war and end the loss OF life ana
other sacrifices that Canadians are cheer
fully making in the interest OF human I'D
orty. | am not an American, hyphenated or
otherwise; neither am making my living IN
this country; and therefore feel at liberty to
advocate peace plan that might not be IN
accordance with American interest IN every
particular. As the Americans are not willing
TO make reasonable concessions TO Great
Pritnn. why should British people have any
regard for American interest or hesitate To
rnsrhcc an American policy IN order to bring
about n satisfactory peace
believe that tho Monroe Doctrine Ia
policy which Americans prize yety highly
In the beginning that policy was indorHsd and
supported by Great n,itain. At the time 81
tho Spanish American War Germany formed
coalition ~ European powers to end that
policy hut a. Great n,ila'n refused 10 join
tho combination ani threatened We assist Tho

man expansion in a territory within easy sail
ing distance from her own ports where she
could find a home for her surplus population
for the next two hundred years. This, 10 my
mind. would be very satisfactory way Of
ending the war to every one except the United
States. and why should British people con
tinue 70 make sacrifices merely TO preserve
an American policy when the American gov
eminent apparently does not appreciate their
action? CANADIAN.
