supremacy as it has never been challenged
either by France or Germany.
But Anglo-Ameii lean rivalry and worse,
whatever it meant for the British Isles,
would mean something quite different for
Canada even for Australia and New Zealand.
In all the problems of the Pacific, Canada
and Australia not only share the American
viewpoint but must for period of years, at
least, see in the policies of the United States
even more perhaps than in the remoter

Europe Sees Nothing but Rivalry
Between America and Britain

/ know it seems absurd to Americans, and
yet all over Europe one may hear the debate
going forward as to whether or not the next
great world struggle will be between the
American and the Brton. Berlin believes
it. Paris fears it, one may he-.r much Of 1t in
Rome. To Europe nothing seems more logi-
cal than that the two nations which emerged
from the world war actually victors who
to-day stand forth as the supreme Powers
of the planet, should drift or even rush to
rivalries which could only lead to war.
Moreover, and the fact Is significant, Eu-
rope expects Britain to adhere to her tradi-
tional policy and seek to construct an anti
American alliance. Always in the past
Britain had fought each of her rivals by
enlisting on her own side all of the smaller
nations of the Continent. In this way she
defeated Louis XIV, Napoleon and William
II. Yet the fact is manifest that, should the
United States actually embark upon aggres-
sive policies we should be instantly more
deadly rival than any Britain has even en-
countered on her long and stormy pathway
Confidently, Europe expects that Anglo
Saxon rivalry, not friendship or association,
will fill the next chapter in world history.
Moreover, British craftsmanship, which in
the foreign field surpasses the statesman
ship of all other nations immeasurably per-
ceives and has long perceived the evil pos
sibilities of such rivalry. That there are

of the so far as the United States is
concerned We are still debating in own
minds between traditional. isolation and un
precedented international participation. Re-
cent partisan and personal quarrels still
serve to dictate international conceptions in
many quarters. But the British all over
their vast empire have perceived the essen
tial fact that whether we will 1t or not, we
have become entangled in world affairs we
have become a great Power in the inter
national sense; the pursuit of prosperity and
peace at home will henceforth drive US into
the world markets and compel us to share
in the world councils.
Even before the world war the truth was
apparent in Britain. AS far back as the
Spanish American war British policy had
undergone defnitive change; American
friendship American understanding, even an
American alliance tacit rather than written,
these were the detectives of succeeding Min
istries. But the world war demolished the
last veil which hid the United States as ii
is from the eyes of the observing. What
this country was able to do between April 6,
1917 and November II, 1918; what it's COM

TT many ways the recent Imperial Con-
ference in London must be recognized
as landmark in the history of the
English speaking world. having an impor-
tance for the United States only little less
than for those outlying regions of the Brit
ish Empire which during the world war
finally put aside the state of the colony and
entered into the dignity of dominions.
AT the moment when the German found
himself involved with Britain as well as
with the Russian and French enemies in the
great struggle for world power it was the
boast and the expectation of Berlin that the
disruption of the British Empire would be
one of the German achievements of the
war That Canada. Australia, New Zealand
and even South Africa would rally to the
British cause did not strike the German
mind as within the realms of possibility.
Yet no greater bunder in all the long list
of German miscalculations can be discovered
than that which disclosed in the re-
sponse of the British dominons to the call
to arms for the empire Alike in Galipoli
and in France, Australian troops wrote i'm
perishable pages in the military history OF
the English speaking race, while from the
hour of the gas attack before Ypres to the
moment when Mons reoccupied the
curtain fell upon the conflict Canadian
valor and Canadian sacrifice rivalled Eng
lish and Scotch. AS for South Africa, so far
from sezing upon a propitious moment for
achieving independence, the forces of Botha
first swept German rule from Southwest
Africa and then overran German East, COM
pleting the ruin of German colonial aspira-
tions in the Dark Continent.

numbers fought Germany's Turkish ally in
Mesopotamia, in Palestine and in syria,
while German calculations of revots among
British Mohammedan populations from the
Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean proved
as vain all other German calculations
which involved an understanding Of nom

Influence of British Dominions
Shaping Empires Policies Anew

one cannot limit the part of the British
dominions in the war to the military effort
alone; in the councils of the empire the
voices of Hughes of Australia and of SHUTS
of the Union of South Africa achieved in
f1uence and obtained respectful hearing. In
the Peace Conference both of these Prime
Ministers were conspicuous figures, while in
a recent session of the League of Nations
Canada made her voice and her opinion
heard to much purpose.
Yet it is essential that all Americans
should perceive that the war. while COM
pletely failing to fulfil the German expecta-
tions as to the. downfall of the British En-
pire wrought changes in the structure which
are illustrated in the London Conference and
will make history for all future time. OF
the loyalty of the dominions to the Empire
final proof was supplied in the struggle it.
self. Not much less than a million soldiers
from the British overseas dominions having
white population shared in the world
struggle, nearly 400, 900 Canadians fought in
France and more than 100000 Australians
crossed the seas TO Europe.
But the very magnitude of the contribu-
tons of the dominions served to change the
general situation materially. How often
during and since the war have 1 not heard
Australians, and Canadians of influence
meet the familiar question would you come
again with the answer, les,
but not on the same terms What has hap
pened in the recent conference is the best
evidence Of the meaning of this comment.
What the citizens Of the dominons felt as
consequence of the world war was a
totally need to be represented, not
merely i'm the councils which direct war
but in the conferences in which the decision
for or peace is made-and even more
than that in the shaping of policies which
may bring war as one of their immediate or
remote consequences. The dominions fought
to save the Empire in 1914 and the succeed
ing years but in the direction of imperial
policies out Of which the resulted they
had neither asked nor enjoyed participation.
In Canada, in Australia, i'm South Africa,
the events of the war produced no more pro-
found effect than that desire for imperial
representation which has since been ex-
pressed in every conceivable fashion. In
reality these three great domnions felt
themselves at once nations I'M themselves
