' WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.--The house
toted today to authorize the secretary
of state to accept the offer or the resi
dence of J. P. Morgan in London as an
American embassy. Acceptance of the
gift was proposed by Representative
Waish, republican, Massachusetts.
The house also voted to appropriate

THE differences between Great Britain and France are largely
fypofrrajihieal. John Bull lives on the ocean, M. France on the
Rhine. French diplomacy is based upon fear of Germany, British di
plomacy is based upon security against her. .There one finds the
fundamental condition, which strains the entente eordiale, whenever
the two leading Kiirnpenn powers meet in conference.
The threatened break over the German indemnity, has fortunately
been averted. Nothing but evil eould come from an estrangement,,
evil AVr both countries and evil for Kurope. And it was this sober and
far-set iti;.' 'realization, rather than any real accommodation of essen
tial differences that led to the allied' arreenfeiit reached today.
French opinion is said to satisfied, 'by the volunie of indem
nity; English opinion wins its point, by securing a fixed indemnity,
rather than an unlimited one.' But the same general line of clevage
will pn s.'iit itself au'ain until there is nfitialbrenk, or until sufficient
time has elapsed to allow the healthful restoration of the French ner
vous system. r v -A
- yi;''
It lakes more Ihan six or 'seven years 'for' the fear of a German
resuscitation to die down in Fiance,' even though' from the safe dis
tance of Ihe British Isles, with the greatest fleet in the world against
no fleet at all, Germany appears powerless and harmless for at least
another generation. The well-informed French foreign office prob
ably grants the danger a remote one, but French public opinion,
Hie ingrained fear of nearly half a century ,t is another matter. No
cabinet eotdd retain power, which adopted the British point of view,
however sound ai:d .rational it. might be.
f-'o the Anglo-French entente is 'an endurance contest, with the
chances in favor of a gradual, but persistent weakening of the ties
that bind the two countries.' There is ground. for hope, however, that
the ties will not fall until conditions in Kurope have so 'adjusted
theinse.'ves that a break will not mean a new struggle for European
eonti'ol.---as such a break would mean iiow; ''' -'1
