United Press Ai-socißtion— Br E'.cetric Telcgrr.pii—Copyright. (Received May - r it]i, ."">.o p.m.) LONDON, May 4. The "Pall .Mall Gazette." comments | on Mr Taft's blazing indiscretion in ' making Americans ask themselves i I whether Mr Roosevelt is not the more acceptable for politkvil sobriety. The President's friends aro endeavouring to represent that Mr Taft only <Icsircd i that commercially Canada and America j should bo adjnncls to each otlwr, but j tho dog 13 7iot an adjunct of the tail, and Mr Taft explicitly wrote that, the Treaty -would transfer all important Canadian business to Chicago ar.4 New York. It is useless to pretend .that Mr Taft's sebune was anything bui a deliberr.t.(? plot, to destroy Canada's cewi- < •omic indepondenru. The, credit c.{ its ' defeat belongs to Canadian patriotism, j and tho humiliation ot being duped is ! J. distributed among the Liberal leaders j !in England and in the Dominion. j j The "Westminster Gazette" describes the attack on Mr James Bryee, British Ambassador at Washington, a« disgrceful, and refuses to believe that Mr Tafthad political designs when he advocated reciprocity, though ho sought to briny Canada under the influence of tho United States. j
