torial on President Mc-

to “aid “in the restoration of
peace between Great Britain and

mapy evidences of an inward irri-

public does not hesitate to outward-

the government. privately display
pique that of all the pewers Amer-
ica should. haye consented to as-
sume what one official desiganted
as the ‘‘ungracious role of sug-
gesting some form of interference,”
to which he added the expression:
“Englishmen cannot help con-
trasting the perfect correctness of
the attitude of the openly unfriend-
ly France with the offer of the
United States, which, had it come
from a_ less disinterested source,
could only have been regarded as
an unfriendly act.”
