 Prof. Arthur T. Hadley yesterday | +a ole in 1,nlitioo1 on the complications which have arisen in the Venezuelan affair and gave his views in regard to the application of l the Monroe doctrine in the case. He said that the doctrine might be con- strued in several ways. One idea of it. 1 and fallacious one, is that the doc Urine was promulgated to prevent the spread of monarchies in the new world; another interpretation is that it is to l prevent any encroachment on the inter- 1 ests of the United States. This is the | broadest interpretation and the one which seems to apply in the present case If the United States were to allow the present alleged encroach- ment to so uninvestigated the next step of Great Britain would probably be en- l croachments in Alaska or Nicaragua, and these would come nearer until per- haps claims would be made on our very l boundaries. A great necessity in stat ] ing the policy as President Cleveland l has done in his famous message is to assert a vigorous policy, but to do this 1 in such a way as not to stir up a war 1 like spirit in the people. President 1 Cleveland did the first well, but made | the mistake of not fulfilling the second requisite.
