There are few people cutside of the 
inner ring of international diplomatic 
circles who realize what was the fun- 
damental cause of the Furopean 
wrangle about a year ago, which for 
a time threatened to bring about a 
general European war and which up 
to the present time has not subsided 
except on the surface. 
The trouble started when the Eng- 
lish monarchial government, though 
the instrumentality of its ally, the 
French government, tied up the Ital- 
ian government in a treaty obligation 
and financial deal with the English 
government syndicate. 
This arrangement, which was 
brought about by conditions which 
seemed somewhat forced, had no 
more than been consumated than 
symptoms arose indicating an inclina- 
tion on the part of the Italian govern- 
ment to repudiate the deal. 
Coincident with this arose a fac- 
tional revolt by members of the Eng- 
lish government secret organization 
in Italy. Representatives were im- 
mediately sent from Italy to Berlin, 
where renewed triple alliance ar- 
rangements were cemented. It was 
at this juncture that the Balkan 
Wars were hurriedly started by the 
English government syndicate. This 
war was worked up even more quick- 
ly than the dropping of the recent 
recent Japanese agitation, and work- 
ing up the Mexican wrangle. 
In considering these conditions it 
would be interesting to know the real 
object of the contemplated trip of the 
Atlantic fleet at this time to the Med- 
iterranean Sea and by whom such a 
inove was inspired. Is it possible that 
the English government syndicate 
needs the war power of this country 
to collect and protect its financial in- 
terests not only in Mexico, but also in 
the pauperized countries of Southern 
Europe? 
In connection with the contem- 
plated movement of the fleet the fact 
should be considered that the English 
government syndicate has its hands 
full everywhere, with more financial 
interests to protect than it has war 
power to cover. 
These financial interests consist 
largely of funds that are periodically 
taken away—largely from American 
people—and invested in other coun- 
tries. Is it then expected that this 
country shall use its war power to 
protect these investments in foreign 
nations? 
Is it for this purpose and to brow- 
beat and intimidate the discordant 
factions of England’s adopted sons in 
Italy that the cruise of the fleet is 
contemplated? Or is the fleet mere- 
ly going over to give the men a pleas- 
ure jaunt in visiting the Mediterran 
ean Seaports ? 
The system employed by the mon- 
archial government syndicate on the 
little island across the sea, seems not 
to be generally understood even by 
loyal statesmen. Nor is it understood 
how the English government syndi- 
cate, aided by its international secret 
organizations, plays the American 
and European continents against each 
other. Not only in matters affecting 
finance and commerce but also in 
those relating to war. 
Some interesting revelations are 
promised should the president, in- 
spired by patriotic statesmen, con- 
clude to send a special envoy to per- 
sonally confer with rulers of contin 
ental European nations. 
Such a step might throw the money 
trust syndicate into a frenzy. How- 
ever, it would be learned that the 
position assumed by certain foreign 
diplomats in Mexican affairs, had 
neither the support of the people nor 
the rulers of certain European na- 
tions. On the European continent the 
impression is given out in a subtle, 
secret, diplomatic manner, that the 
American war power is at the dis- 
posal of the government syndicate,
