THE WORLDS LARGEST CITY


New York is now beyond challenge
the largest city of the world With five
million, six hundred and twcnty-one
thousand, one hundred and fifty one
souls, according to the new census
the American metropolis outnumbers
most of the States Of our Union, eau
ais the population Of several Europe
an countries, more than doubling
that Of Norway, and exceeds what
hitherto has been it's sole rival Lon
don. The claim for nearly a decade
that New York City proper was "at
least greater in population than the
City and County of London" now
runs: Census figures for the five bo-
roughs, combined with those thus far
given out for cities and towns of this
population zone, indicate that the
Metropolitan District has passed de-
cisiVely beyond the count for the
City, the County and the Outer Ring
of London"
1t is truly an amazing phenome-
non, this incorporation of upwards
Of five million six hundred thousand
persons--more than the total popula-
tion of the United States in 1900 and
nearly twice that of Georgia today,
America is heartily proud Of this gi-
gantic daughter of the east with her
marvels Of industrial and commercial
power, her vigor and genius, her i'm
comparable wealth Of human inter
est--Atlanta journal.

There is no use blinking the

ing deliberately a newspaper which
circulates almost entirely among
thinking workmen and women
in order to publish this grave and
urgent warning.
l was lunching at the Bankers
Club in New York two weeks ago
with a multi-millionaire whose
name is famous even in the small
est town in Europe.
"The Americans came into the
war, they thought, with the I'M
selfish chivalry of the Crusaders"
he told me. "They think they won
the war for Europe; but now they
are astonished to find themselves
loathed by the very European ma
tions they think they saved. And
every day American newspapers
tell them Britain has come out of
the war more powerful than ever.
The ideals they talked of are for
gotten, except when some English
paper sneers about the ideals they
turned into solid cash."
There is the powerful journalist,
William Randolph Hearst-the
Northcliffe of America-who would
die happy if war between Britain
and the United States should
break out. His newspapers, morn

across the continent, egg on the
American public to a hatred of
Britain, of which war is the only
logical conclusion. Nor is he alone
in this calumny.

We are accused by the Ameri-
can press Of Directing to their
belief that America won the war
for US. We are accused Of using
the money we owe the United
States for building a navy to COM
pete with theirs, the only one, they
say, which is strong enough to
fight ours.
We are accused of preaching
self-determination and practising
oppression, both at once. And the
deuce of it is that it is true.
Winsor McCay's cartoons illus
trating all these things are unfor-
tunately so brilliant both in con-
ception and draughtsmanship that
they turn my Indignation to deep
regard.
And what about US Englishmen!
Here is Horatio Bottomley preach
ing to millions of readers every
now and then a similar doctrine
Of hatred Of America and Ameri-
cans. A Western Senator said to
me:
"Bottomley is only a dema-
gogue!" That's not the best thing
about him, but the worst. He
writes what millions of working
men merely think.

A great American preacher, a
man of unimpeachable character

Another thing that has caused resentment here
the effort of England through propaganda and through the
direct effort of her official representatives to interfere

candidates and other candidates favorable to England
try to run country and country's government
against interests, in which the English
people would not tolerate for should any repre-
sentative agency of endeavor to ntemedde in their
affairs.
If the American feeling of friendship and good fellow
ship toward England of short year ago has changed
distrust and antagonism, THERE IS A REASON
And if Mr. Hammer Swaffer is really anxious to avert
misunderstanding between the two natonsand we have
doubt that he ishe should find out what that is
and try to remedy it.
The is mainly to be found in the attitude of his
own people, according to his description.
The attitude of the American people generally, and Of
this American paper in particular is simply of unwilling
ness to be by England, UNWILLINGNESS TO BE
USED BY ENGLAND. FOR HER ADVANTAGE AND
FOR THE DISADVANTAGE OF OUR OWN NATION
If England will be just and not jealous, she will find
America sufficiently well disposed toward her
But if England takes the attitude that we must not
succeed in and industry and national develop
ment without offending her, that must not win the
Americas Cup triumph in the Olympic games without
causing more trouble, cannot hope to be friendly
Because the American people not willing to play
second to any other people to be subservent to any
other nation.
Now that this outrageous league nations proposal which
emanaed from Great Britain is definitely defeated and
dead and England has lost the hope of using money and

This paper will always favor such international

States and deny that the United States made any
considerable contribution toward winning the war?
How can any Engshman travelling in the United States
expect to find the people of the United States particularly
friendly to the people of England the people of England
feel he says they do toward the people of the United
States after this nation has rendered signal service to
England?
How can good feeling between the two nations be deve
oped as long the people of England feel this way
toward the United States?
And what is the reason that the people OF England
entertain this hatred and loahng for 1.-THE United States
and most of the things it stands for?''
What the things which the United States stands for
that the people of England hate and loathe u.s.
To be perfectly frank the hatred is probably due to
the prosperity that stand for the wealth. the commercial
and industrial development the Englands
troll of the and domination of the world the injury to
Englands pride the peril to England's pocket
We cannot very well avoid being prosperous and sue
cessfu just to please England although have gone
good way toward avoiding it by excessive iberaty to
European nations including England.
But the vgor of people, the wealth Of country
and the favorable conditions which have befaen have
made and will continue to make the most prosperous
and successful nation in the world.
So continue to be prosperous and powerful and
rival of England in world leadership must remember
that England has always in the centuries past first become
urously jealous of any nation that rvaed her in power
and prosperity and eventually made upon that nation
with view reducing its power and destroying its pros
perty and removing it as competitor Of the British
Empire.
Realizing these facts and observing this jeaousy-or
as Mr. Hammer Swaer calls it, "hatred and loathing
the United States which is developing in England it is but
natural that the people of the United States being rather
intelligent and discerning lot should begin to withdraw the
which they had lately lavished upon the English and
to regard the English with dsfavor and distrust.
There two other reasons why the people Of
the United States beginning to feel resentment
toward England.
One of the reasons is that people commence to
realize that the English have trespassed upon good
nature.
They have borrowed billions and then tried to avoid
paying even the interest those billions.
They have spent immense sums in building their own
naval fleets and building and buying great commercial
