CONDENSATION
MING NEWS
Ambassador to Enfland State That
His Speech Was Entirely Different
From That Reported by the News
papers in America.
Said United States Wauld OfcJMt tt
or Prohibit Acquisition of More
Territory by Europe.
LONDON, Mar. 13. "I am a vic
tim of condensation," said U. S. Am
bassador Walter IL Page, replying to
a request hero today for hts views
concerning tho commotion his
Wednesday night's speech stirred ap
In Washington.
"My remarks as quoted In Ameri
ca." he added, "mean something en
tirely different from what they mean
taken In connection with the context
of. my nautical speech. This will !
evident to everybody when the full
speech which I am malllny, Is re
ceived In Washington.
"I had distinctly said the United
States would object to or prohibit the
acquisition or moro territory U the
new worli by any European power,
before I added "so you see that, the
United States would prefer that bo
European should gain more territory
In .the new world."
"In referring to the Panama canal,
I said England would derive Wore
profit than any other country b
cause the bulk of the world's ship
ping Is English."
Page had received Secretary
Bryan's request for a copy of the
entire speech, and was preparing It,
with an explanation.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 13. As ad
visers of tho chief executive ad
mitted It looked as If the ambassador
had "talked too much." giving Hk
administration's enemies a chance to
crlticlzo It.
The president and the cabinet
members discussed tho matter at
their meeting this forenoon and tho
upshot was that Secretary Dryan an
nounced that he had cabled to Page
to mall him a copy of his speech,
which ha would turn over to tho
senate, in conformity with the re
quest contained In Senator Cham
berlain's resolution. By the tlmo It
arrived, however, It was admitted
tho Incident would have lost It
acutcness.
