TO CHECK ADVANCE
OF UNITED STATES
London Paper Advises Great
Britain to Form Working
Alliance.
DISCLAIMS HOSTILITY TO US
rmllctft America Will Gobble
1 1 South American State
and Formulate Ian
Ameriean Tariff.
LONDON. Jan. 4.-The Saturday Re
view today prints a remarkably free
spoken editorial In which It strongly
advises Great Britain to form a work
ing aliance with Germany In order to
check the "continued and aprarentljr
inevitable advance of the Cnlted States
into South America."
According to the Review, "It Is the
wisest policy f .r this country t encour
age the advance of Germany In the
r.ew world as the most useful counter
poise to the overwhelming predomin
ance of the United States which '. the
only possible outcome of the existing
political conditions.
The Review disclaims all hostility
to the United States, but says:
'The solid Interests of our own peo
ple which is the basis of which the
United States always works, is the
only sure ground on which to build."
Continuing, the Review says:
"If we would only remember that
the Americans are to bt. believed when
they describe themselves as actuated
by purely business conditions we would
save ourselves from a large number
of gratuitous humiliations and '.nprof
itable speculations in stocks having no
real market value, vlt: the presumed
gratitude of political and commercial
rivalry. With a strong European pow
er established In the South and a great
world power in the North, the too ex
uberant aspirations of Pan-Americanism
would be checked, saving our em
pire from a grave menace."
In conclusion, the Review points out
that the United States will Inevltably
gobble up the weak turbulent states
southward when It Is certain to formu
late a Pan-American tariff union
against the remainder of ihe world,
and Uteri, controlling Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Isthmian canal, convert the
Caribbean Sea into an American lake."
' STUDY OF LATIN SUPPRESSED.

markable tribute to the importance of
the English language by suppressing

sition to the change among advocates
