 AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY

ST, LOUIS. Jan. 21.-The United l States is now confronted with an op portunity for obtaining foreign trade such as never before has existed and in an probability never again win ex ist
 To set this trade three things are ! necessary, namely, an interpretation oi the sherman antitrust law as it at ! fleets combinations for the securing of foreign trade; cooperation of the groups of American manufacturers and merchants in 9 campaign to acQuaint American dealers and foreign pros. poets with each other
 This was the consensus Of opinion Of bankers. manufacturers and gov crnment officials who addressed the second national Foreign Trades con yention in st. Louis today.

 TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

DAWSON. Jan. 2O--The Interview recently given to an 0ttawa paper by Dr. Alfred Thompson, member Of Par. iiament for yukon regarding the ap- pncadon of the Monroe doctrine to Canada. has received considerable at- tenuou. An Ottawa paper juat re- ceived gave tho story in full as fol. iows
 Am interesting contribution to the ldiscusaion which has arisen out or former President Taits expression of views as to the application Of the Mon. roe doctrine to Canada in the event of D German attack on this country has been made by Dr. Alfred phomp- son member of parliament for the Yu- kor. Dr Thompson who has always taken a keen interest in this matter says that Theodore Roosevelt, when President of the United States ex- pressed views directly tho opposite those put forward by ex-Preaident Taft
 In discussing the matter pr. Alfred Thompson remarked that Mr. Taft in effect said that since Canada has en. tered tho war Germany. could, without violation Of the Monroe doctrine, inc wade and occupy Che country during the war and if successful, could de- mand and collect an indemnity from the Canadian people-could, iu fact do anything but change che form of gov ernment and make Canada 9 perma- nent German colony
 Tn this connection remarked Dr.. Thompson "it might be of interest to Canadians to know the opinion of Col. Roosevelt on this question. was in Washington with the late Dr. McIn- tyre. M P. for Strathcoua,3 Ralph smith. then M P for Naniamo and B. Nicholas, secretary to tho late Hon. William Templeton, then mnister of inland revenue We called on the British ambassador, Mir. Bryce, and through his good offices we met Pres ident Roosevelt and had an interest ing talk with him. During out inter view with the President a number of matters wero discussed which l am not at liberty to speak even at this date. but took occasion to ask him whether or not any member ol his government speaking with authority had ever made a declaration regarding tho application of Che Monroe doctrine on che Pacific coast Mir. Roosevelt could not assert that such declara ton had ever been made, but assert- ed with great emphasis that the Mon roe doctrine applied Co the Pacific as well as to the Arlantic coast and to Canada He added that f necessary he was willing to make 1t apply toI Austria.
 This view, continued the member for the Yukon, ''is somewhat differ ent from that expressed by MT. Taft md Is more In harmony with the rec cent declaration O. the Chicago Tri- bune that the Amercan people would undoubtedly and strenuously resent an European invasion Of Canada re- gardless of any provocation that Can. ada has given by particlpating in the European war
 However" remarked Dr. Thomp- son in conclusion, while the views of the two former Presidents of the United States are interesting, we in Canada are not depending upon the Monroe doctrine We are depending on another doctrine. much older and more potent-the doctrine of British supremacy on the seas "- Dawson Newg)

Many Sultans.

Though there is now one more Sul- tan. we shall. no doubt, so on speaking ol the head of the Ottoman emipre as "the Sultanae just as though there were only one. It is very like the case Of the kaiser" We have always said "the Sultan. ignoring Morocco, zan- ibar and various minor potentates in Arabia and the Persian gulf who call themselves .Sultans. The title is uu- derstood to carry Q wider territorial significance than "emir" It is much like emperor in relation to king. But it may be noted that the Turkish emperor's own subjects do not call him the Sultan but tho padishah (ia- ther Of monarchs). Our forefathers used to speak Of his as the grand seignior-tLondon Chroniele)

roo MUCH ATTENTION
 PAID TO NATIoNAnTlEs


 Two of the leading candidates for nomination for mayor have expressed in substance tho view that the Mayor of Chicago should be acquainted with the various nationalities that go to make up the city's population.
 Why this eternal stressing of the difference in "nationalitios" In chica- SO? And what has the difference ip nauonaillies to do with tho proper dis- charge Of the duties of the mayors or any other public position2
 ls the question of fair and equal rate of taxation one into which the question of nationality enters ag a termining factor?
 Does a proper provision for sewage and garbage disposal require an inti- mate acquaintance with the local eth nollgical data?
 Is the matter Of suppressiug crimef the maintenance of proper police force, the upleep of streets and pave ments one that demand Q nice know ledge Of racial distinctions?
 Instead of eternnlly dwelling on the difference in the original nationality of Chicago voters or of thc forbears of Chicago voters, why not emphasize the extreme similarity of their inter- est in public administration?
 No mattor what the nationality or race of Q Chicago citizen is he wants good government ii he is a good citi- zen and he wants bad government if he is bad citizen.
 And however much their 'nationeli. Nes' may differ good citizens are fair. ly well agreed on what is good govern

NEED
 FOR OXYGEN

At a meeting of tho French Aeao' einy. Of Science recently an interesting communication was made on the re- sult of the observations of Professor Roule on the migration of salmon 70 fresh water
 The observations covered the rly- e.,s entering the sea on the Breton coast end it was found that the pro portion of oxygen dissolved In fresh water was the principal factor deter mining the ascent of the salmon. Like an tlsh of their family the salmon have an intense need of breathing and this increases in the reproduction period. Consequently they only enter rivers whose waters are able Go sat isfy this need by the quantity of oxy- zen held in solution lt is in tee search for this water that leads them mp Che rivers, even where obstructicns make it necessary to leap in their char acteristic way
 Besides tho scientific interest, Pro- lessor Roule's observations, lf they could be but proved, would possess great practical value as they would enable one immediately to discern which rivers were worth an attempt to introduce salmon by purifying the water, providing ladders, etc. and which were the rivers In which such labors would be certain to be In vain.

Thus the only two methods of expan-
sion, industrial and territorial. have alike
been hampered in the case OF German
people. Nevertheless it is not part of
our ambition to acquire European terri
tory. 1t is against German ideals.
Europe Is divided into nations largely
through race differences. and each of the
various races is jealous of its culture,
its history. its characteristics and its re-
ligion. 1t is unwilling to share any of
these things with it's neighbor. There
fore. a homogeneous people can never be
created In Europe through conquest.
Let me add. however. that the 'evacu-
alton Of Belgium depends upon England.
We have no desire to retain the country,
but unless an absolute guarantee 10
given that the English Channel will be
as a highway for commerce
Germany will protect herself by retaining
Belgium and establishing a naval base at
Ostend."
