I amt speaking of the Pacific slope, al though I am of opiniu u tlhat inl the cast. also. tie masses are hostile to England; und 1 have yet to meet al initelli gent Englishman who has lived hi" life in the west who does not share my views (iI this unlihalppy stubject. On the other hand. miny of m. l' irie ns ii tlihe west. and those connected with mie by malrriage. cont end that no English manl can possibly apprehend the spirit of thle west. anli that "thintgs"---as Trullltful n.ames w-uhlld say-----"are not what they seem:' That dep down in th.e `westernii hea l are respect and esteem for thie British natijon. In reply I submit that this sentimcnt of affection is so deep down that. so far as I am concetrned. it is absolutely out of sight. The above, as has been slated, was written. not by a meibeir of all organization of lrishmen, not by all American, but by on Englishman--a typical Englislima n by the way-who came to the United States and engaged in business here, apparently made a success of his business, and married an American girl. '.The writer is Iforace Annessley V\achell and the paragraph btove is taken from his book, "Life and Sport on the Pacific Slope." printed il 19til. some 18 years ago. And the one outstanding fact is that what held true in Mr. \'achell's day holds good today. The only "comnlimuinity of in lerests'" there can ever be between England and the United States is a comniunity of interests of the international bankers; just such a community of interests as caused the world war and which is now clanmoring for a league of nations. But. whether we read Mr. \'achell's dissertatlion, or whether our knowledge comes fr'om cool observation of current inci dents. it must not be construed as meaning that the hostility of the people of the United States is toward Englishmen individu ally. For it certainly is not. There is, or at least should he. a communnity of interests be tween the Englishmen as individuals and the Americans, as individuals: as fellow workers endeavoring to better their con ditions; but as for a community of interests between the two governments there can never be one so long as the govern enunciated by the framers of that. immortal document. the Dec larotion of Independence. Thlere are excellent Englishmen, just. as there tare lad , Amer icans. Irishmen. or Frenchmen. Many of these I:1Elishiien ihave comre to the Inited States and are now nunibertdl miiong iour must loyal. enterprising and silccessful citizens. To, con teniii the individual because of. the faiults of the go:- erl.nueni ;uder which he was born is unfair, and the Lord only knows lhat even in our own government, as managed within the last few years particularly. Ihere is plenty of fault to be I',untd. .\Again we say. the criticismn of the British--aye, eveno lie hitred l -that si1,ulile's deep within the average .\miericat brea-d, . is not i i.'ilicismi or a hatred of the 'Eng]lish a ildlividu als, but of their goverimuent and the. cruelties and Irbharities for which that govier·nmet hIts been notorious f.r cent.utries. A\s Mr. Vach.ell has so aptly put it. the vauited uaffetion t'o England of which our An\glo-maniac orators adil writers tell Ius ii:s so deep downi that * * it is absolutely out of sighlt." DID HE TEACH WITHOUT LEARNING? (Piie year ago it would hardly have been an exaggeration to .iay that Woodrow Wilson was the most popular La.n iin the world. Today, while probubly not Ithe most unpopular. ihere is Inot much doubt that he would run pretty close to the tol it an inpopularit.y contest could be staged. There are many reasons for his rapid decline in ithe public estimation. MIiy of these reasons. apparently, have In con neiction with eacht other. but an analysisof o opinions expressed is public places discloses the fact that through a long period the utterances of e Woodrow Wilson have been a contladiction of Iris actions, or rather that his actions have been at v\arian ce wilth his utterances. and that the public mind no) onger places a1,ny dependence in his words. AiiAy man is finally judged by deeds and not words. 'rhe 0 discrepancy existing between his utterances and aelion, . par licularly when those actions have been such as to arouse the it leepest resentment ainotig those formerly rallied to the W\il son standar(l, has createdl a distrust of the presidenl's motives in the minds of a majority of this nation's people. at perhatps nothing has tended to so disillusion us as the in t vasii(n of Russia by America( forces without a. shred of legality ii or even excuse.
