AMEBICA AND THE PACIFIC.

MR. SHAW'S SPEECH

By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright. New York, April 29. President Roosevelt and every leading American paper disapprove of the recent speech made by Mr. Shaw, Secretary to the Treasury, in which he said that America aspired to police the entire western hemisphere, including all countries and islands washed by the Pacific, and that ultimately American energy and wealth, plus the control of Hawaii, the Philippines, the Isthmian Canal, and a vast mercantile marine, would transfer the sovereignty of the Pacific from the Union Jack to the Stars and Stripes. Sydney, April 30. The Sydney Morning Herald, dealing with the American Treasurer's speech, says that amongst the most important interests committed to the keeping of the Commonwealth is the maintenance of Australian influence in the Pacific. After dealing with the growing power of America in the Pacific the article says the United States now stands as a nival and colonising power. Recent events make it clear that America aims at becoming a commercially aggressive force in the martime world as well. Morgan's combination puts that beyond a doubt. The Commonwealth cannot afford to ignore such warnings.
