quoted as saying tho Monroe doc

prefer no Kuropcan government to
gain more, laud In tho now world."
Chamberlain professed also deep
Interest In tho statement attributed
to Page iu tho same speech to tho ef
fect that ho "wouldn't say America
constructed tho Panama canal for
Kuglaud but tho consideration that
thb Prltlsh would profit most by Its
use had added greatly to the pleas
ure of building it."
Tho senator's resolution called for
the information on which this state
ment was based.
