platform. The people Of the United States
have 40 frequently heard the Monroe doc
trine discussed by Our aspiring politicians

our Constitution. The Chicago Post says
that ever since we have been able to read
we have met with speeches, reports, mes

forms about the Monroe doctrine. That
"doctrine" in brief is a statement made
