United States and Japan and there is an equally wide gulf between the Interests at stake. The American people cannot be classed with a small nation like the Japanese, just emerging from the un- civilized state. The Americans are an old and well established Power, they possess the sinews of war, in the shape of a vast population and Immense wealth, and they are a race who are not likely to be deterred from gaining their ends by display of force. In fact, though there has been some doubt as to the intentions of the United States as regards the Philippines, we believe that, so far from causing them to abandon the idea of annexation, this threat on the part of the European Powers, for threat It un- doubtedly is, will go far towards encourag- Ing the Americans' to annex the islands by arousing their national pride. We do not for a moment believe that the United States will calmly bow to compulsion. the matter will encourage the Yankees to Great Britain's benevolent neutrality in uphold their rights. They know that the them, and knowing this they will be less sympathles of the British nation are with Inclined than ever meekly to submit to the dictation of the powers.
