Europe hates England because British commerce is taking profits wanted by the merchants and traders of European countries and also because British influence has erected barriers against the colonization projects of the European powers. .!f Europe could. crush the British empire, she would ‘do it, and when it was done; she wo d direct her envy.and hatred ‘against the United States} because the United States, with its Monroe doc- trine, is holding the continental powers out of South America, and because our foreign commerce has grown to he,second only to that of England. These were the motives that en- gendered for us the ill-willofEurope when we were at war with Spain.
