MONDAY,MAY7, 1900

TheUnited Sfcate3 of Americahavingbroken away from the internationalisolation that haamarkedherprogressin the worldsince the founding of theRepublic, is beginning to realise tberesponsibilitiesof her position as one*of thegreatpowersof the earth. Shehas donea greatdeal more than takenup -"'the white man's burden." Shewillbonolonger"cribbed,cabined;"andconfined" within the formulary oftheMonroe doctrine. That may yet be-comeadomesticquestion that willcallfor serions consideration and lead toimportant issues; but under the pre-sent balance ofpower in the old world

J it is scarcely likely tobecomea factor'of any importance in respect to theordinary foreignrelations between thePowersof the OldWorldandtheNew.

I It is only in thecontinents oftheNewWorld that the Monroe doctrine, asweknow it,can come iuto play atall;and atpresentnoonecou'd expect anyof thePowers of theOldWorld tohaveany interest or motive for interferingwithapolicy that is almost sanctifiedby thatintense Americanism whichisso conspicuous in the national char-acter. Thenew national birth givento America by the Spano-Americanwar she has not been slow to justifyby tbe attitude taken up in regard to

■ the war in South Africa. There wasnouncertainty or wantof decision inthestandof America overthat Britishtrouble. The attitudeof Britain overthe Spano-American war was mostheartily reciprocated by America inrespect to vetoingany interventiononbehalfof tho Boers. Hence we seethatthereis nopossiblehopeofforeigninterventiononbehalf of the rebelliousRepublics of South Africa. We haveno doubt that tbis is inno way dueto theattitude thatAmericahas takenup;but whatever the effect may have-been Britain isnone the less indebtedto her Transatlantic cousin for herspiritedandpractical expressionoftheopinion that "one goodturn deservesanother." That is one sideof the newrelationship which America broughtabout byher plungeinto the war withSpain. The other is purely of adomesticnature;but the secondseemsto be as seriousas the first.

A few days ago weprintedacablemessagefrom Washington which said

" that MrRoot, theSecretary for War,warned the Americans that ina fewyears they will be forced to fightorabandon the Monroe doctrine. Initself this is a trifleenigmatical,tosaytheleast of it;and ordinary readersmight we'l be excused if it seemed aprofoundmystery to them,as no doubtit would be to most people if thecable agent had not come to theirrescue lb some extent bysaying thatMr Root ia supposed to refer toGermany^, action in connection withBrazil. Even vague asthis intimationis,andmuch as furtherlight is wanted,webelievethat the elements of inter-national trouble of a grave nature willyetbe found to exist in the relationsbetween Germany and Brazil. Thishas long been felt by the militarycaste in Germany, though thepublicat largemay havebeen quite obliviousto such a danger. We doubt, .even,wnether so well informed and so in-veterate a° |newspaper-reading com-munity as the people of the UnitedStates are, that they had the faintestidea that the Monroe doctrine waslikelytobeput to thebestonAmericansoil. But such a complication loomsin the immediate distance and is farmore likely to eventuate thanmany persons think

—for this reason: "

Germany keeps a keeneye on Brazil. \There are thousands— tens of thous-ands— pf German? settledin Brazil. ,They keep to yt'hemselves and are 'settled in coloiiies that are purely IGerman. They evince a decideddis-inclination to pix with the Natives or 1the Latin emigrants, mostly Italians,of whoma riteadystream is constantly 'flowing in^rc. thecountry. The Teuton !andtheJ&atia donot readily assimilate ;

wherebotharerepresentedinlargenum-bers. The Germans live together andspeak their own language Theyhavethierownchurchesandschoolsandnews-papers,and cleave to themode of lifeandusagesof theFatherlandas nearlyas tiieconditionsof their newhomewilladmitof. They areall armedandareas carefullydrilledas if theybelongedto the landwehr,the dutyof which isto protect their land from invasion.There is in factan outside Germanyspringing up intheRepublicofBrazil.On the face of it this is a latentdangerto thestate of which they are nowcitizens. Intheverynatureof things,and with suchan elementof discordrootedfast in thesoilnothing ismoreprobablethan thatif trouble shouldarise between theGermans and Brazi-lians, the German settlers shouldsomeday feelcalleduponto invoke theintervention oftheFatherland,in thesame way as theOutlanders in theTransvaal appealed to the MotherCountry toseethat theyobtainedtheirjjust rights. *We donot say that theGermans inBrazilwill everhave oc-casion todo so,or that the Braziliansare atall likely to try to play off asimilarroleto thatof'theBoers of theTransvaal. But such things havehappened,and theymay occur again.The issue wouldthendependupon theattitude that wouldbe taken up by-Germany. The claims of blood arestrong. She aspiresto be a colonisingpower. That ispatent to the wholeworld, andas she may feel disinclinedto turnadeaf ear to theappealsof herchildren in Brazil, andmay in con-sequence ventureupona little moralcoercion with Brazil and strained re-lationsmightbe followedbyactionof amoreserious character. alnthat event—

andit isby nomeans impossible.oreven unlikely— Americacouldnot re-main an idlespectatorof such an in-fringement of theMonroe doctrine.For the Governmentof the UnitedStatesis pledged to resent the inter-ference inanyshapeof any Old WorldPoweron American soil, whether inNorthorSouth America. Hence MrRoot's warning that in a few yearsAmerica willbe forced to fight orabandontheMonroe doctrine.'' The following wire wasreceivedby theHon James Kerr on Saturday from theRightHon R J Seddon:— "Some littletime ago the.Viceroy of India appealedfor practical sympathy for the fourmillionand ahalf famine stricken peoplein India. In asking for the opinion ofmembers oftheLegislature in respect togranting aid to the sufferers by the con-flagration at Ottawa, several memberssuggestedthat aid should be sent fromthe Consolidated Fund to the faminestricken inIndia. TheGovernmenthavetherefore determined to ascertain theviews of Honmembers as to whether ornotsuchassistanceshould begiven. Willyou kindly reply and state your vie *va onthe question.— R JSeddon." TheHonJas Kerr replied as follows:—

"Feel thegreatest sympathy for the millions offamine stricken peopleinIndia,and.thinktheGovernment of New Zealand shouldsend aid out of theCousolidatedFund torelieve the sufferers Whilst we enjoythe blessings of aprosperous country it isourduty toassist those in want, and Iapplaud your effort in moving in thisdirection. Ifeel sure that tho voice ofParliament will beunanimous in uphold-ing whateveraid youdetermine to give.

Now theirdignosisisconfirmedbyAucklandmedicalmen.

Among the buildingscondemnedto-daywasaboardinghouse for whichL2a week rent was paid. The Commis-sionerscalledita disgracefulhole. DrFyffe reportingto the ColonialSecre-tary mentions it as the most sirikingfeature of his inspection, the way inwhich thebyelawsarecontravened re-garding stables. A large number ofhouses are not connected with thedrainage system, 'especially in thepoorerparts of thecity,and thecryingneed for cheap housasfor reallypoor.He suggests thatif private enterprisecannotsupply this wanttheCityCoun-cil or Government should step inanddo so.
