LONDON, Aug. 18.—-Varlous influ- ences, particularly England's policy toward Ireland, are arousing sus- picton and resentment in the United States, says the Manchester Guar- dian in an editorial to-day. These facta cannot be ignored, it asserts, | for the active co-operation of the | United States will be necessary if a lasting peace is to be brought about by a league of the “liberal pacific powers of the world.” The Guardian suggests the British Orders in Council, the censorship, the blacklist and interference with degree to alienate American sym- pathy from Great Britain and her allies, and continues: “Kut these mat- ters are comparatively unimportant in days such as these, and if there! Is nothing else to be considered we | would, be justified in concluding that there was no reason to antic! eo any serious change in Anglo-Amert- can relations.” AMERICA SUSPICIOUS OF AL- LIES ON THE TARIFF. , Referring to American expressions of opinton in regard to the resolutions adopted at the Economte Conference of the Entente Allies at Paris, at which consideration was given to various proposals, especially regard- ing tariff changes, which provoked wide comment in America, the Guardian eays: “There is no doubt that the suspicion here implied ts tn. juriously affecting the Allies’ cause in America, and these circumstances should not be overlooked in our cal- culations for the future, But above all other influences working againat us in America ts the memory of the Irish revolt.” | When the Cabinet resinted the first impulse toward clemency, the Guar- dian continues, It forgot the immense and troublesome fact of Irish Amer- ica, and for that lapse of statesman- ship there would seem to be no hope | ot a speedy remedy. | SIR JOHN MAXWELL'S RULE IN | IRELAND A BIG FACTOR. | tt adds: “The reign of Sir John Maxwell at Dublin has made an end, perhaps for years to come, of all hope of reconciling that large element tn the United States which, until with the Home Rule Act we began to re- deem the past in Ireland, had been by tradition and practice irrecon cilable. One of our greatest assets when tho war broke out was the rordial neutrality of the American people, made possible by the restraint and somewhat reluctant sympathy of | American Irish, That we sacrificed, and the loss is Mkely to color the politics and behavior of the United States toward us until the end of the | war, or until such time as a com- | plete change can be brought about in our Irish polley. | “We cannot Ignore this fact, much |as we may regret it, for the active co-operation of the United States Ia an essential condition to any such neutral mails have tended in some| M ‘THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, AVOUST 18, 101 Do You Want?
