HILL IS OUTsPOKEN
DECLARES MONROE DOCTRINE WAS
NEVER PROPERLY RATIFIED.
1t Was Designed to Fit n Particular
Line of Cases and Cannot Alter
the Lazy of Nations.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 21.-An interview
with Senator Hill ION the Venezuelan ques-
ton was given out tonight. Senator Hui
was asked whether experts in public law
think the Monroe doctrine has given to
the United States special right to inter-
vene between Great Britain and Venezuela
in the pending boundary dispute, or
sumo protectorate over Spanish-America?
He answered that he had never thought so.
But does not the Monroe doctrine declare
that the United States cannot permit any
Spanish-American republic on this CONT
nent to be oppressed or it's destiny con-
trolled by European state?"
THAT would not have referred" the SEN
ator said, "to legitimate dispute such
we any other government might have
tomorrow with Spanish-American state.
1t protested against using such contro-
versy with intention to increase Euro
pean political dominion on this hemisphere,
or control the destiny of American
state or transfer colony, like Cuba, to
new European owner, but did not change
what was then the law of nations
'.Was not the Monroe declaration to Con-
gress guarantee of our intervention, forci-
Die, if need be, in behalf of each Spanish
American republic which, in opinion.
was oppressed by European state?"
Il think not. Not otherwise certainly,
than if Chile shall Cypress Peru or Mexico
Guatemala. Congress has never affirmed
the Monroe doctrine In 1868 President
Johnson projected treaty with Colombia,
which was signed, embodying the Monroe
doctrine but neither the Colombian SEN
ate nor tar own Senate ra,.fied it. You
remember that when. two years after Pres
ident Monroe made MS declaration, con-
gress was convened by Bolivia at
Panama for the consideration and discussion
of an American alliance. to enforce the
declaration there was substantial concur
renee of opinion between President John
Quincy Adams VINO had fol mulated the Mon
roe doctrine and the members of the Senate
and House, especially the Democrats, 1nclud-
ing Senator Van Buren,, of New York, par
ticipating in long debate that the declar-
alton did not pledge the United States to
forever thereafter prevent European pow
err from interfering with the independence
form of government of a. Central Ameri-
can state
do you think that President Monroe has
reputation of having given his name to
rule of conduct by the United States, for
which neither he nor Mr.. Adams contend
ed?"
Precisely that the Senator answered.
1.-THE doctrine cannot be formulated in
treaty or a statute, but it's moral influence
has been, is and ought to be very great.
Discrimination should, however, be made
between legitimate disputes and illegitimate
purposes behind the disputes, such as inn
posing by force European political control
over the destiny of a reluctant independent
Spanish-American State. President Lincoln
must have felt that some thirty years ago."
