THE NEW SHIP COMBINE
MAY PRESERVE THE

By Vice Admiral Lord CHARLES BERESFORD of the British Navy

E of Great Britain never should commit ourselves to
any act likely to irritate any foreign power, moro
especially the United States.
it'is only right and natural that ameiv
ICANS IhOULD HAVE STRONG SUSCEPTIBILITIES
AS REGARDS THE' MONROE DOCTRINE. IF I
WERE A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES, I WOULD UNQUES.
.TIONADLY FIGHT IN SUPPORT OF IT. " "
As a British subject I do not want to bcc an aero moro added
to the British empire, as our imperial responsibilities aro on'or-
mously in excess of our organization for dofense. Thoro aro
.inany reasons why the two great English speaking nations should
', forget the irritations of tho past and come cjoecr togothcr in tho
IV future.
THE GREAT ATLANTIC SHIPPING COiLBEJTE HAKES
FOR THE INDIVIDUAL BENEFIT OF BOTH GREAT
S- BRITAIN AND THE fNITED STATES, AND, HAY IT
'"' NOT HAVE A FARREACilING EFFECT FOR INSURING
PEACE FOP. THE FUTURE J '
During my visit to America what has impressed mo most is:
j.' l.'Tho genjiino friendly feeljng toward Great Britain.
2. Tho Bputiment often expressed that combinations pf trad
ing interests between the two countries would prcrent war in the
future.
At prqsent in o interests of peaco neither Grcaf. Britain nor
tho United Statos can afford to rcjax its energies for maintain
ing its navy ii such a sufficient and efficient stato that it
would be able to carry out tho work which would bo tjirown upon
it in timq pf war,' but IF THE UNITED STATES AND
GREAT BRITAIN FORJI THAT NATURAL ALLIANCE
.WHICH I HAVE INDICATED CAN BE BROUGHT ABOUT"
BY PART OWNERSHIP AND PROFIT SHARING IN
.GREAT TRADING COMBINATIONS, IT WILL CER
TAINLY PLACE THEM IN SO POWERFUL 4 POSITION
0.TLAT THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD THINK TWICE
BEFORE ATTACKING EITHER OF THEM, AND THE j
ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE MIGHT PERHAPS HAVE
K GREAT MORAL EFFECT IN PREVENTING; WAR BJ3

Inryo number of couth nu'ii, who 1'. It
hoped trill lie glad to take part hi the
movement Icr a new ntul Urge ml
vigorous Chamber of Commerce.
The signature! nppen'tl'cil' to this lot-
ter aro cufllclcnt cttnrnntco that tho
proposed body will bo orttaoUed on
ttio right lines, and thst It will lake
hold with a will to ndyanco tho inter
est! ol Copa By.
Tho need of auch an orgAnlzation
never was to pretting na it ia now,
and tho necessity will increnio' ks the
year passes. Had this ruivemoni been
started six months no, it would Vitvo
boon of the, utmost v.iluo ris'ht now.
The influx of Enstorn peoplo coniinj;
on tho cheap excursion rates it already
commencing, and it ia greatly to bo
regretted that Coos Ilsy ii in no poni-
t
tion to rap her sharo of tho benefits.
There should bo somo machinery in
operation right now to meet thcio home
seekers and investment seekers, with
information about this section, tho most
promising in tin stMe for tho intending
settler or investor. There ia work
waiting now for Just audi a body as la
about to be organized, and a harvest
awaiting ita sickle.
Thcra should be no hesitancy ordolny
on the part oi any of the gentlemen in
vited to join tho new organization. Tho
feu which it la proposed to collect ia a
mere bagatelle compared with tho bone,
flls which would flow from tho proper
application of tho fund, Ono thousand
dollars, or as much more as may bo rais
ed can bo judiciously expended in ways
that will brine retarua cut of all. pro
portion to the outlay. J lw'
The new Bureau of infojinatfoa just
established in Portland offqrs on oppor
tunity to place information oKout' Coos
Day in the hands of the re.ry people wb
desiro to reach, and our response to tho
invitation extended con not ba too
prompt. In the rooms of this Bureau
cjuld be placed, without much expense,
an exhibit of the products of tbia section
hat rnako a strong imprcsblon on eyory
visitor. The Utireau offera an agency
or the distribution ot printed mattor
descriptive of Coos Day of which, full ad
vantsjo thould ho takou. '
This ia work that calls for the ser
vices of juet such a body aa is being
organized. When we eeo the good re
sults that have come In tho past from
tho efforts of a. few wide-a-wako men
acting together, it can readily bo un
derstood that a body of perhaps oevoral
hundred of our foremost citizens, act
ing together can aucomplisli. ircat
things for the immediate futuro of
Coos Bar. '-, I
Tho reception of tho proposal; so far,
has beon very, gratifying to ttfe n
motore of the movoment, ,afld"'th
seems every reason to nope mat
