4 HEARSTNEPLIES •TO ENGLAND ON U.S.HONOR In Statement to the British Press He Makes Appeal for “Better Understanding.” Special Cable to The Georgian. LONDON. Sept. IS.—William Ran dolph Hearst writes a column letter In The London Express replying to Eng lish press criticism on his exposition of America's position in the Panama ques tion. After answering the newspaper comments in detail, he continues: As for myself, a Home Rule American, pleaee believe that I am not quite as yellow as I am painted and am only Immoderate in opposi tion to injustice and intolerant In the presence of untruth. I confess quite frankly that I em ploy such powers of publicity as I have for the purpose of accomplish ing reforms, and that I use them at all times as forcefully and effect ively as I possibly can. Indeed, I ardently believe that the noblest and most Important func tion of journalism is fearlessly to condemn what is bad in the attempt to reform It, and freely to praise what to good in the effort to cn cowsage ft. In the pnrstianoe of that policy I twsve critic! sed many matters in my own country and some things in Dtwtand only with the sincere de sire of ottmulating the public sense to a realisation of the necessity of Improving conditions and achieving pragresa. Tn international affairs I believe, as I have staid, that my country is actuated by the highest motives and is inspired by the fundamental principle of equal rights and uni versal justice, and I support this enlightened foreign policy with an earnestness born of sincere convic tion and patriotic devotion. But confidence in my own coun try and affection for my own people do not prevent me or other Ameri cans from entertaining a genuine regard for the people of Great Britain, if only the English news papers. by a little more moderation, will permit us to do so. This Panama canal question is of great sentimental Importance to the United States, but of absurdly small importance to Great Britain. To allow it, therefore, to interfere In any way with the cordial rela tions existing between the United States and Great Britain would be most unfortunate. In a better understanding be tween the people of the United States and the people of Great Britain in the harmonious co-oper ation of such groat nations for righteous and unselfish ends lies one of the most potent possibilities for the sdwremfflt of civiliza tion, for the establishment of uni versal peace and the attainment of the altruistic artm* of humanity. Therefore, I can not but advise a nttle more consideration on the part of the English press for the sensibilities of the people of the United States, a clearer compre hension of the fact that our sense of honor and our devotion to high er idea Is is quite as great ae that of any people upon the face of the globe, and, finally, a reattzatton that abuse of us does not constitute to us or to others a convincing argu ment.
