Without attempting auy extend, d
argument in reply to these positions it
may not be amiss to suggest that the
doctrine upon which we stand is strong
and sound because it's enforcement is
imperative to our peace and safety az
nation and is essential to the interest of
our free institutions end tranquil main
tenauce of cur distinctive form OF gov
eminent. l. was intended to apply to
every stage of our natIoual life aid can
rot become obsolete while our republic
endures.
The balance Of power is justly a cause
for jealous anxiety among government
of the old world and a subject for our
absolute noninterference, none the less
Is the observance OF the Monroe doc
trine of vital coacern 10 our people and
their government. Assuming therefore
that we may properly insist upon the
doctrine withouth regard to "the state
of things in which we live" or any
changed condition here or elsewhere,
it is not apparent why its application
may not be invoked in the present con-
troversy. If a European power, by ex-
tension OF its boundaries, takes posses
sion Of tie territory of one of our
republics against its will
