LONDON, Feb. /.
There is an important leader published 10
the Times to-day oontradicting Secretary
Fish's assertion that his action in the Cuban
affair is in accordance with the Monroe doctrine.
After referring to the American note to the
European Powers the Times The note
is generally interpreted as a deliberate attenua-
ton, if not a direct surrender of the famous po-
lftlcal dogma" The writer then proceeds to
say -" While Mr.. Fish is so careful to cut
away all the modern and popular develop
ments, accretiOns and extensions, Of the prln-
Ciples laid down by Monroe in 1928, which
have been SO long proclaimed as the keystone
of American liberties, he yet labours to show
that he holds to traditional policy to prove his
case, and depends for this in a departure from
what is supposed to be q tradition of American
policy. Mr.. Fish adroitly opens a curious
historical controversy by boldly asserting that
the real author of the principle enunciated IN
President Monroe's Message was, of all men,
Mr.. Canning.
"The revelations are astounding. Looking
at the evidence On which Mr.. Fish based this
assertion, we are astonished at the intellectual
audacity with which he attempts to give to the
irrelevant the weight Of relevancy by dint OF
stout affirmation. Monroe's idea became cor
rupted until it degenerated into a barren cry of
America for the Americans. It's bad effects
have been mitigated 10 practice by the good
sense of American statesmen, although its
pretensions have hampered their freedom of
action and kept many perilous questions open
which might have been usefully closed by
diplomacy. Many Americans had come to
believe that the existence of foreign colonies
upon the soil of the continent was an insnp-
portable outrage. From such exaggerations
of an originally foolish claim we are glad to
see that Mr.. Fish has Withdrawn and that be
shapes his policy rather by the presidents of
Monroe's administration than by the principles
of Monroe's Message.
"Mr. Fish's arguments are much what we
would expect from an astute statesman feel
ing bound to respect popular prejudices while
receding from an untenable position and mini
MIXING obsolete principles. His admission
