AMERICA GAINS , ENGLAND LOSES IN WORLD POWER French Editor Points to Lessons Gained From Wars of Liberty by U. S. PARIS, June 23.—America Is rising In world domination and Great Britain Is declining:, according to an article by Stephen Lauxanne, editor of the Matin printed today. Under the heading "Watting Star and Rising Star,” M. Lauxanne comments upon the British Imperial conference. He pointed to references to the United States In speeches by the British Dominion premiers. “When these speeches are read one might ask whether they come from British or American dominions,” said M Yalliance. "The lesson from America Is that In the course of her history she has fought only wars of liberty and never of conquest.” Eugene Lautier, director of L'Homme Libre, alleges that a campaign In favor of an Anglo-French alliance, which was recently under way here and In London. was for the object of setting up England, France and Japan ogalnst the United Statrs. “When this failed,” said M. Lac tier, “the same English sources publisled reports that America and Englard were coming into closer accord. Tlis ia a bluff and a lie.” L'Homme Libre Is the organ ol former Premier Clemenceau.
