Disagree With Mr.. Sheriff..

Official Washington was much inter-
ested in the remarks at Buffalo of
Charles H. Sheriff., former American
minister to Argentina. Officials who
read his speech doubted, however, that
European nations having possessions in
the western hemisphere would look
with favor upon plan such as sug-
gested by Mr.. Sheriff.. None seemed
to agree that the time was ripe for the
United States to request the European
nations to relinquish their possessions.

connection with the British empire by
her own volition. Offer the Inhabitants
of the Guianas, of British Honduras
and the other European coloniest the
same opportunity. Our South American
brothers objected to the naval battle on
the Falkland Islands being fought in
pam American waters, but II those is
lands had been returned to Argentina,
to which they are allied by propfn-
guilty and origin, they could not have
been used as naval base by Euro
pean power, and the battle of the Falk-
land Islands would have been fought
elsewhere.
For Release Of Colonies
'If for such a release of colonies the
European powers should ask financial
compensation there is no way in which
the resources of our great country
could be better expended in the cause
of free hemisphere than by paying
such compensation, and in such pay
ments participation by any of our sis
ter republics would of course be well
coined The time is ripe Tor such re-
quest to free the soil of all the Ameri-
cas-, and none knows it better than the
European governments. We are being
asked to list on our exchanges many OIL

foreign government controls. and for
require compensation. Let any one who
doubts this statement study why Ar
gentine bonds lost their quotation on the
Paris stock exchange few years ago,
and how that quotation was regained,
or inquire into any one of many SINH
lar episodes abroad. In compensation
for opening our exchanges to all these
European securities, which means open
ing our pockets to Europe, it is our
duty to our fellow American repub-
lies and to our children's children so
that they may enjoy in peace their in
herited liberties-it is our duty, say,
to complete and round out the i'm
munity from entangling foreign allies
proposed by Washington and Monroe.
by asking our European friends to lib
crate all territory in any of the Ameri-
cas- now held by them.
"1n 1923 Monroe could only protest
against future colonization by Euro
peans, but today it happens that we are
in a position to ask the release of all
soil from present Euro
pean colonies. Perhaps We of this
generation may not live to see this full
of liberty come true, but
surely, sooner or later it will be

before a message was flashed back tc
