4 SSS THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON: ‘CBosny s. NOYES. = ‘THE EVENING Permanent circulation in Washington three times Ineger than that of any ether paper im the city. As n local NEWS paper and Advertising Medinm hae ne competitor. —— Every one knows that the present adminie tration will intelligently and boldly sustain the interests and Lonor of the United States fn any foreign controversy. Expefience thas taught that truth But as yet the Bering sea contention is hardly a cave for the burning of spectactlar gua- powder. It was annoying to the American people to be compelled to assumes threatening ‘attitude toward Little Chile, necessary as that Sourse was. ‘There is now a disposition to de- mand that we show ourselves equally irtropid with a stronger adversary or plead guilty to cowardice. But the Chilean matter was eve of sentiment. The American flag had been Znsulted, our seamen assaulted and killed and the United States government treated with contempt. The Bering sea controve: to the present a very matter-of-fact affair. ae contest of commercial and diplo- matic shrewdness. England has not in- eulted us by refusing to renew the modus vivendi. We do not care whether she co- eperates with us for the protection of the seals or not. We regard the sealsas onr prop- erty, of which we are in possession. Our title is questioned, and we might be willing to sub- mit the issue to arbitration rather than fight ‘over it, as there seems to be no point of Boner involved. But meanwhile we remain gn possession, and will protect our prop- erty against poachers, pirates, burglars and @uesk thieves of whatever nationality. If the seals Lelong to the world, and not to us, we will turn them over to the world at the end of arbitration, but until «decision has been fendered aguinst us which we recognize, we will not permit the world to dispossess us of the property and exterminate the subject- matter the arbiteation. England can refuse to help us to protect the seals pending arbitration, but by withdrawing from that er- yangement she tacitly agrees not to interfere forcibly for the protection of Canadian Poachers against us. For such interference woald place Engiand im the attitude of declaring war agsinst us pend- ing au arbitration of the matter Jn controversy. which she is supposed to favor. Whe American position is that the seals must be protected pending arbitration. England Days that she will no longer co-operate in this protection. This notice means that we must protect them for curselves. If it meant that! whe wouid send ker ships into Bering sea to co-operate with the poachers, it would be @ declaration of war. But the bulk of the English people want war as little asdo the bulk Of the American people. The English govern- Ment would deserve and receive the abbor- gence of the English-speaking world if, when Grbitration of a question of dollars and cents was exceedingly probable, it should adopt such a course as to render war inevita- Die between kindred English-speaking peo- ples It is not to be assumed that England will join her forces aeRO u r BPA ET RA? aa. es Rev Ticker ‘AY.
