London, April 20. Tho Satin day Re
view will bay tomonow that "the ex
pansion of the Geimnn navy is moie In
piepaiatlon for a contest with the
United States than with Great Britain,
because the loadlest cause for future
naval conflicts will be found in the
struggle for the pnitllion or tho ex
ploitation OL tho great Pouth American
continent."
Tho Review devotes a page to a de
scription of the lesouiees of South
America and Geimany's hundreds of
thousands of settlers in Uia.ll and
Chill, and the Inability ot Geimany
pin siting her designs in South America
without a, conflict with the United
Slates The aitlelo concludes with the
statement that it Would not be good
policy for Gteat Britain to oppose Ger
many's legitimate aims, and that an
alliance with the United States, that
had foi its pin pose the maintenance of
the Monioe doctrine, "would not onlv
bo Indict ouslv In opposition to our own
inteiests, but it would rightly mouse
every other nation to a death stiugglo
