The Monroe Doctrine originated
in apprehension that Russia, Austria,
France and l'russia had formed an
alliance and would help Spain re-
conquer the South American States.
Prss,dent Monroe addressed them the
following note Of warning. which was
s'ccepted then and IN recogpized now
as the law Of the government to all
foreign powers
I've owe it, therefore, TO candor
and the amicable relations between
the United States aud those Powers
TO declare that we should consider
any attempt ON their part to extend
their system to any portion of this
hemisphere o. dangerous 10 our peace
aud safety. With the existing colo
nies or dependencies Of any Euro
pean Power we have not interfered.
But, with the Governments who have
declared their independence, and
whose Independence we have. on
great considerations and just priDci-
pies acknowledged, we could not view
any interpretation for the purpose of
depressing them, or controlling in
any other mnnuer their destiny, by
any European power in any other
light than ss the manifestation Of an
nnfriendly disposition toward the
United Ststes. In the war between
those new Governments and Spain
we declared our neutrality at the time
Of their recognition. and to this We
have adhered and shall continue to
adhere, provided no change shall oc-
cur which. in the judgment of the
competent authorities Of the Govern
ment. shall make a corresponding
change ON the part Of the Uuited
