unduly a single phrase of the Monroe
doctrine. witho1' taking into account
the special circumstances which the
Monroe dOc;riHe was intended to
meet. In the whole matter. the Mon
% doctrine should be kept out of
sight, as inapplicable and the ques-
ton should bc acSued on grounds OF
national policy. The President finds
his offer of arbitration declined. He
ROW announces himself as a mediator.
But the mediator known to i~nterna-
tional law must ne accepted by both
parties. who H. also both free to re-
ject his decision. In this case. Meth
