..Tac Monroe Doctrine"

President Monroes Message, December 2 1929
1t was stated at the commencement of
the last session that great effort was then
making In Spain and Portugal to improve
the condition Of the people of those coun-
tries and that it appeared to be conducted
with extraordinary moderation 1t need
scarcely be remarked that the result has
been, so far, very different from what was
then anticipated. OF events in that quar-
ter of the globe. with which we have SO
much intercourse, and from which we de-
rive our origin, we have always been anx-
ious and interested spectators. The citizens
of the United States cherish sentiments the
most friendly, in favor of the liberty and
happiness of their fellowmen on that side
OF the Atlantic. In the wars of the Euro
pean powers, in matters relating to them
selves, we have never taken any part nor
does it comport with cur policy 50 TO do. 1t
is only when our rights are invaded, or
seriously menaced, that we resent injuries,
or make prepare ton for our defense. With
the movements in this hemisphere we are,
Of necessity, more Immediately connected,
and by causes which must be obvious to all
enlightened and imperial observers. The
political system of the allied powers is es-
sentially different, in this respect, from
that of America. This difference proceeds
from that which exists in their respective
governments. And to the defense of on,
| own, which has been achieved by the loss
of so much blood and treasure and ma
tured by the wisdom of their most enltght-
| ened citizens, and under which we have
enjoyed uneXampled felicity, this whole
nation Is devoted.
| We eve it, therefore to candor ard to the
| amicable relations existing between the
| United States and those powers, to declare
| thct we should consider any attempt on
| their part to extend their system 10 any
| portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to
| our peace and safety. With the existing
colonies or dependencies of any European
| power we have no; interfered, and shall
not interfere. But, with the governments
who have declared their Independence, and
| maintained it, and whose independence we
| have. on great consideration, and on just
| principles, acknowledged, we could not
| view any interposition for the purpose of
| expressing them, or controlling, in any
| other manner their destiny by any Euro
| pean power, in any other light than as the
| NANTES tation of an unfriendly disposition
| toward the United States.

recent traiu-robbi1g incident in Okla
homa demonstrates that the moral and
financial harometers do not always fall
together. II shows. too, that there are i'm
provements in progress in the methods of
holding up passenger trains that promise
great things for the future. After FIVE des-
peradoes had sacked the train and had
confiscated all the property of the passen-
gers they apologized fer it to the latter,
SAYING that the hard times mad driven
them to their desperate deed. Politeness
and plfering have never been very great
friends. but this episode shows that they
are getting together and opens UP most
agreeable prospect. 1t would not be al
together surprising If the train-robber Of
the twentieth century should do his work
on a much more considerate basis than
tine highwayman of the past. 1t Is quite
possible that twenty or thirty years from
now or maybe sooner the robbers on stop

ton of whether the passengers should sur
render their valuables to a sort of arbitra-
ton. A committee Of three or four could
be appointed to meet on neutral territory
and there discuss theSquestion of just how
far the hardness of the times might justify
the plundering of the passengers. Difficult
cases could be referred to the nearest
farmer for settlement. Schedules could be
arranged and carried On each train giving
the market rates which would justify the
robbing of a train. The weekly quota
tons of some well-estabiished mercantile
agency could be subscribed to by every
weIl-regulated band of robbers and util-
ICED to justify their proceeding. Reduced
thus to scientific ard mathematical basis,
the business of rotbirg trains would be
much safer and certain ly much more con-
yeuiant.

CASTILLO is IN AGAIN.
A NEW CABINET FOR SPAIN BE-
ING FORMED.
AN OPPONENT OF sAGAsTA
Returns to Power az Premier in
the New GOvernment-Sket
of His Career.

MADRID, March 22.-The queen has
charged Senor Antonio Canovas del
Castillo to form new cabinet in place
of the one just resigned.
He held several important positions
under the government and in 1864 he
was minister of finance and the col
onies. He drew up the law fer. the
abolition of the traffic in slaves. His
greatest title to fame is that of having
been the first to hoist the flag of legit-
innate and constitutional monarchy in
the full constituent assembly in 1868 in
face of triumphant revolution.
His fidelity and capacity obtained for
him the supreme direction of the AL
fonsist party, and in the proclamation
of Alfonso XII. as king in December,
1874, Castillo became president of the
council and chief of the new cabinet.
This office he held until 1879, when
Marsal Martinez de Campos became
prime minister. Castillo opposed the
marshaPs free trade and emancipa-
ton projects and finally in December,
1879, compelled his resignation, and
Castillo again came into power and
held the reinS of government until
1884, when he was overthrown by
coalition between the supporters of
Sagasta and Campos and the former be-
came prime minister. The Sagasta
ministry resigned in 1888, but Sagasta
formed a new cabinet which held office
about nine months, when it was sue
ceeded by the Posada Herrera min
istry In 1884 this cabinet was over
thrown and Castillo again formed a
ministry. In 1885 this ministry re-
signed on account of the kings in
tention to visit Valencia, where
cholera was prevailing, but the king
gave in and the ministers continued
in office. In November, 1885, Castillo
was compelled to resign on the ques-
ton of German occupancy of the
Caroline islands and he was succeeded
by Sagasta, who held the premiership
until January, 1890, when he resigned
and Castillo again became prime min
ister From then until now Sagasta
and Castillo have alternated in holding
the office of prime minister and the
queen regent is simply following a
long established precedent in calling
Castillo as the successor of Sagasta.

TREATY NEEDS REVISING.
Another Bering Sea Conference
Being Arranged.

WASHINGTON, March 22-Prelimi-
naries are being arranged for the franz
ing Of a, new treaty between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain concerning
Bering sea seizures. The negotiations
will be carried on in Washington Sir
Charles Tupper, minister of marine
and fisheries for Canada, and other
leading statesmen of the Dominion,
including, probably, Minister Foster
will come here to cooperate with Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, concerning the terms of the
treaty. On account of the prolonged
siege of illness through which Secre-
tary Gresham has passed, which may
make it desirable for him to take a
rest, the meeting will probably be de-
1erred until later in the summer or
fall. The gathering of prominent min
listers will be an interesting occasion.
although it is recalled with regret that
Sir John Thompson, premier of Cam
ada, who recently died suddenly in
London, will not again be among those
who have long been identified with that
subject. The projected treaty is rem
dered necessary by the inaction of con-
gress on the Bering sea seizure claims.
The original claims. which, with in
terest, amounted to $750,000, were
scaled down to $425,00O President
Cleveland advised payment in his mes
sage to congress, but an amendment
to carry out the presidents recommen-
dation was defeated
1t was then sought to provide for an
international commission to adjust the
terms of settlement, but this, too,
failed, leaving the matter still open.
The purpose of the treaty would be.
therefore, to create a committee to
hear all the evidence and determine
the amount of indemnity to be paid
the seized sealers. After being signed
the treaty will have to be submitted
to the senate for ratification, and un-
less there is an extra session this can
not be accomplished before next De-
cember. While it Is felt that this is
an unfortunate delay in adjusting the
claims, yet it appears to be the only
means Of advancing them to an honor
able settlement consistent with the
kindly relations existing between the
United States and Great Britain An
other phase of the situation, which
may come UP simultaneously with the
adjustment of the claims, is the franz

alaska BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
England's Greed for Territory
Crops Out Strongly.


WASHINGTON, March 22-United
States territorial rights in Alaska, as
against the British claims there, have
again been brought to the attention of
the state department. 1t is true that
under the reports of the American
boundary commission of last year, Eng
land lays claim to large and valuable
portions of Alaska, both in the interior
and on the seaboard, which had pre-
viously been regarded as an American
territory. 1t is also true that both of
the commissions of survey came to
very nearly the same conclusions, re-
garding the questions which they had
been appointed to settle. There were,
however, Emergencies between them
regarding certain matters, which cam
not be overlooked. The Fundamental
fact to be kept in mind regarding
Alaska and the joint British and Amer
lean survey of it is that the bounGa-
ries will not be finally settled until
they have been made the subject of
diplomatic negotiations between the
governments at London and at Wash
ington, under the terms of the treaty
of 1925, between Russia and Great
Britain, by which treaty our own rights
must be determined. Since the COM
pletion of the survey, it is the negotiat-
ing authorities of the two powers in
interest that must attempt to deter
mine the validity of their respective
claims, insofar as they may conflict,
and the English desire that line shall
be drawn SO as to cross some Of the
broad inlets in the southwest through
which they can obtain direct access to.
their own domain from the sea and
near which they can establish fortifi-
cations that may yet be serviceable to
them.

FIGHT SHY OF TARIFF.
Next Republican Congress VIII
Do Nothing hut Talk.

Do Nothing but Talk.
WASHINGTON, March 22-Judge
A. B. Montgomery, of the fourth Ken
lucky district, a member of the COM
mittee on ways and means, and one
OF the three men. who, on the part of
the house, conducted the conference
with the senate on the tariff in the
long session of the last congress, ex-
pressed the opinion today that the
Republicans would attempt very little
if any tariff legislation during the
next congress. s v,zssssssss s4f
''They are" he said, already max
ing the plea that they won't have a
ma ajority in the senate, evidently for
the purpose of excusing themselves to
their constituents. All the signs in
deed indicate that the greater part of
the time will be taken up in criticism
of the work of congress which has
just closed, without seriously attempt
ing any Improvement, and possibly
with getting through some makeshift
on the financial question. The
chances are good, however, that they
will find themselves as incapable of
reaching an agreement on silver as
we were. OF course they will have
such vast majority in the house that
they may get something through that
body, but they will not succeed in the
senate. In that respect also, the Re-
publicans will probably be as we were.
We got everything through the house
that we tried to get through, until
after the November election demoral-
lied us, but we found our difficulty
with the senate. We were unable to
do much in. that body, because there
was never a tariff reform majority in
the senate
Asked if he thought the Democrats
when they should return to power
would attempt to correct the tariff law
to correspond with the ideas advanced
by the house in the supplementary
tariff bills, he replied in the affirm
ative and added that there were also
other changes than those which should
be made, as for instance, in the metal
schedule. AS a whole, however, he
considers the present law vast I'M
proyement over the Mckinley law.
