widely from its character when 1t first
issued from the pen of its author. The
two propositions which in effect President
Monroe laid down were, first, that America
was no longer to be looked upon as a field
for European colonization, and, secondly,
that Europe must not attempt to extend its
political system to America, or 20 control
the political condition of any of the Ameri-
can communities who had recently declared
their independence. The dangers against
which President Monroe thought it right

Venezuela insists upon the Essequibo line

The Secretary notices briefly several feat

the fate of the various attempts at arbi-

in the matter heretofore taken by the
United States He shows how the exploita-
ton of the Schomburg line was followed
by NeneZuelas protest, and by what may
be fairly interpreted as a dsavowal of the
line by Great Britain, notwithstanding
which every change in the British claims
since that time has moved the frontier of
British Guiana farther and farther to the
westward of the line proposed by Lord
Aberdeen in 1914.
Summarizing the Situation.

made by Venezuela to arrive at this settle

Salisbury Says This is Not n Question

The last dispatch from Salisbury to Sir
Julian Pauncefote was dated the same day
as the preceding, November 26, 1895, and
says:
Sir: In my preceding dispatch of today's
date / have replied only to the latter por
ton of Mr.. Olney's dispatch of the Goth of
July last, which treats of the application
of the Monroe doctrine to the question of
the boundary dispute between Venezuela
and the colony of British Guiana. But it
SEE ms desirable, in order to remove some
evident lnisapprehensions to the main
features of the question, that the statement
Of it contained in the earlier portion of
Mr.. Olrey's dispatch should not be left
without reply. Such course will he the

portant features of the situation were sum
married. by him as follows:
l. The title to territory of indefinite but
copfessedly very large extent is in dispute
between Great Britain and Venezuela.
2. The disparityin strength of the parties
is such that Venezuela can hope to estab-
lish her claim only through peaceful
methods.
3. The controversy has existed for half a
century, despite Venezuelas efforts to es-
tablish boundary.
4. Venezuela has for a quarter of CEN
fury striven for arbitration.
5. Great Britain has continuously refused
except upon the remuneration in her favor
of a large part of Venezuela's claims.
G. The United States has made 1t clear to
Great Britain and the world by frequent
interposition of good offices that the con-
troversy is one in which its honor and its
interests are involved, and the continuance
of which it cannot regard with indiffer-
ence.

Il this point Secretary olney says:
An Accurate Statement.

1.-The accuracy of the foregoing analysis
of the existing status cannot, it is believed,
he challenged 1t shows that status to be
such that those charged with the interests
of the United States are now forced 10 de-
termine exactly what those interests are
and what course of action they require IL
connels them to decide to what extent, If
o,v 1ha United. States may and should in
+. rvene in a controversy between and pri-
marily concerning only Great Britain ana
Venezuela and to decide how far 1t Is oounu
to see that tie integrity of Venezuelan ter
ritory is not impaired by the pretenslons OF
its powerful antagonist. Are any such right
and duty deyolved upon the United States?
If not, the United States has already done
all. if not more than all, that purely
sentimental interest in the affairs OF the two
countries justifies, and to push its interpo-
sition further would be unbecoming and IN
dignified and might well subject it to the
charge of impertinent intermeddling with
affairs with which it has no riGhtful con-
Germ On the ether hand, if any such right
and duty exist, their due exercise and dis
charge will not permit OF any action that
shall not be efficient and that, If the power
of the United States is adequate, shall not
result in the accomplishment OF the emu III
view The question thus presented, as Z
matter of principle and regard being had 20
the settled national policy, does not seem
difficult of solution. Yet the momentous
nractical consequences dependent upon its
determine ton require that it should be care
fully considered, and that the grounds OF
the conclusion arrived at should be fully
and frankly stated.
The Secretary says that 1t is an admitted
canon of international law that there are
circumstances under which nation may
iustlv interpose in a controversy between
other nations, although the doctrine is or
dinarlly expressed in terms of the most
general character. 1t is declared In SUP
stance that a nation may avail itself of
this right whenever what is done or pro-
posed by any of the parties primarily con-
cerned is serious and direct menace to
ITS own integrity, tranquility or welfare.
The propriety of the rule, when applied in
good faith. will not be questioned in any
quarters, though he says it has been given
fcr schemes of wanton spcliation and ag
grandizement The Secretary says, how
ever. that we are at this time concerned
not so much with the general rule as with
a form of it which is peculiarly and dis
tfnctfvely American. And this leads the
Secretary to an elaborate historical analysis
of the conditions leading up to the enuncia-
ton of the famous Monroe doctrine, begin
ming with Washington's famous farewell ad-
dress warning Americans against entanS-
ling alliances with European powers

November &c, 1895
Sir: On the eth August 1 transmitted to
Lord Cough a copy of the dispatch from
Mr.. Olney which Mr.. Bayard had left with
me that day. and of which he had read por-
tons to me. l informed him at the time
that it could not be answered until it had
been carefully considered by the law officers
of the crown. l have therefore deferred re-
plying to it till after the recess.
will not now deal with those portions of it
which are concerned exclusively with the
controversy that has for some time past
existed between the republic of Venezuela
and her majesty's government in regard to
the boundary which separates their do
minions. / take very different view from
Mr.. Olney of various matters upon which he
touches in that part of the dispatc h; but
will defer for the present all observations
uron it. as 1t concerns matters which are
not in themselves of first-rate Importance,
and do not directly concern the relations
between Great Britain and the United
States. r.
The latter part, however, of the dispatch
turning from tie question of the frontiers of
Venezuela proceeds to deal with principles
of a far wider character, and to advance
doctrines of international law which are of
considerable interest to all the nations
whose domnions include any portion of the
western hemisphere,
The Monroe Doctrine.
The contentious set forth by Mr. OIrey
in this part of his dispatch are represented
by him as being an application of the po-
litical maXims which are we'll known in
American discussion under the name of the
Monroe doctrine. AS far as 1 am aware,
this doctrine has never been before ad-
vanced on behalf of the United States in
any written communication addressed to
the government of another nation but 1t
has been generally adopted and assumed
as true by many eminent writers and poll
ticians In the. United States. 1t is said to
have largely Influenced the government Of
that country in the conduct of its foreign
affairs, though Mr.. Clayton. who was SEQ
rotary of State under President Taylor, ex-
pressly stated that that administration had
in no way adopted 1t. But during the
period that has elapsed since the message
Of President Monroe was delivered, in 1923,
the doctrine has undergone a very notable
development, and the aspect which 1t now
