New YORK, April i-Hon. Edward
j. Phelps, ex-minister &C. Great Britain,
delivered a lecture before the law depart
ment of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
and Sciences ON the Monroe doctrine
Monday night The speaker began by
saying that he had the habit of speaking
his mind, and after references to the va
rious disputes in which the European ma
tions had bsen involved and the. possibhi-
ties of future disputes, he took up the
question of the boundary lines between
Venezuela and Brilish Guiana He -
ferred To IL as "a master in which the
United States had no personal concern.
His opinion w 5 that no line existed or
ever had existed
general rule of non-intervention, the first
being for humanity. as in the case OF
Armenia at the prcsslr tifno, and the
second when interests our own coun-
try are imperiled. 1t had been said that
in the present case, In which the Monroe
doctrine had been put to the front. 1t was
American policy, but policy is nothing
but interest, aud 10 enforce a policy or
command where no right was apparent
was to transgress all rights The enforce
meut of the Monroe doctrine wrongfully,
he declared, is simply the act OF the
bully. Phelps spoke also of the attitude
of the United States toward Spain, which
nation, he said, was endeavoring to put
down a rebellion of men of banditti. pl-
lage, arson and murder. ,.
