But these gentlemen have not confer
red without realizing that back OF all
the material community Of interest OF
which I have spoken there lies and
must lie a community of political inter-

40 POLITICAL. JFALOU SIZES.
81 hope I can make clear to YOU IN
what sense use those words. do not
mean n mere partnership in the things
that are cxpcdient. 7 mean that YOU
cannot separate politics from these
things. that you cannot have real inter
course of any kind amidst political ieal-
ousies which is only another way or
saying that you cannot Commun" unless
YOU arc friends, and that friendship is
based upon your political relations with
each other perhaps more than upon any
other Kind ur relationship between ma
tons. II nations are politically susp'c-
ious of one another. all their Intercourse
is embarrassed. That is the reason |
take it, if It be true AS | hope II Is,

eien to politics, have again and again
been drawn back to the political infer
enccs. Tho object of American states
manship on the two continents is TO see

on a rock.

trino demanded merely that European
governments should not attempt TO eX-
tend their political systems TO this side
Of the Atlantic 1t did not disclose the
use which III" United States intended to
make Of her power on this side of the
Atlantic. II was a hand held up in warn
ing. but there was no promise In Il OF
what America WAS going to do with the
/ implied aud partial rrotectorate which
she apparently was trying to set up on
this side of the water. and believe yoi
will sustain me In the statement that II
has been fears and suspicious on this
score which have hitherto prevented the
greater intimacy and confidence and trust
between the Americas. The States OF
America have not been certain what the
United states would do with her power.
