America Needs Duxz-Sasrs Instead of
WhirlisiEs.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
once more England has shown the hand
of brutal greed. and her flag flies in tri-
unphant arrogance over Corinto.
Once more has the famous Monroe doc
trine been treated with contempt by the
British press and the British authorities,
and the question is fiippantly asked, What
is America going to do about it?"
England sets the exact day. the hour. the
Minute. when. il her insatiate demands are
not met, her forces will land. take possess
sion of an American port, appoint a COVER
ror, establish martial law, proceed to col
lect customs and threaten to use her can
non to quell any opposition to her avarice.
Halifax. the Bahamas. Jamaica, the
mouth of the Orinoco, Corinto. Esquimault,
and last, but not least-it is sure to come
Honolulu. How is that, with Canada along
our entire northern border. for a Gordon?
Gen. Scott once said: when you want to
catch a rat first stop up all the holes"
Well, has not England literally ami fully
taken that advice? Are we not in a coop?
Is she not athwart our pathway whatever
way We may turn, ready to swagger and
bluster and carry everything her way with
high hand, almost to the verge of war?
And would she stop even short of that.
knowing the superiority of her naval force?
And, because of a policy that may even
tually cost millions of dollars and rivers
of blood, the disparity on the sea widens.
England adds new ships every year. We
have ordered but two battleships the past
three years; they are not yet begun.
If America had thirty vessels of the In
diana class, with the cruisers now af1oat,
with guns ready to arm the auxiliary navy
at the first warning Of danger. the stars
and stripes wouii be more respected abroad;
the Monroe doctrine would he taken to
mean what it says. The English govern
ment fully recognizes the difference be-
tween buzz-saw and whrligig.

that it is about time for good contract to
