DOESN'T LIKE THE NAME.

In recent address at Milwaukee
Bishop Nicholson said he was disap-
pointed in one thing not accomplished
at the recent meeting Of the board Of
Missions of the church at Washington.
They did not get rid of that dreadful
name-Protestant Episcopal" said
Bishop Nicholson, "but in all the body
of that board not one voice was raised
to support the name. 1t is doomed.
That is conceded on all sides and the
only question upon which there is
needed an agreement is what the name
shall be: Whether the American
church or the American Catholic
church" However, though disap-
pointed in this the bishop found many
things in the proceedings of the board
that must in the future conduce to the
broadening of the church. "One thing
that all must have noticed in the pas
toral," he said, was it's brevity. In
the past me pastorals had been so long
that many had failed to keep the
themes in mind or to see the point
when it was made. The meeting was
also marked by unison that has not
always marked similar gatherings and
today there was not the feeling that
had existed in the past, the fear that
because of pride, ignorance, prejudice
and error dissention might be kept
alive and much mischief done at the
church conventions" Two of the most
important changes in the church to
come about as the result of the resolu-
ton shown in the pastoral, were the
division of the church into provinces,
the details of which were to be de-
termined in changes in the commoo
law at some future time and the pro-
vision for supreme court of appeals.
The only course at present is the
diocesan court The diocese, often
having taken to itself certain COM
plexion, wrongfully convicted sup
posed violations of ritual ordoctrine as
a result of local partnership. The
provision for the high court of appeals,
the speaker said, was one of the mark
ed gains toward strong and earnest
Guardianship. Another gain was
showo in the reports upon the free
pew churches, which dominated show
ing that the religious vice" of the
pew was fast disappearing.

Of any kind in American affairs unless
upon grounds admittedly just and
valid. The signing Of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty marked both an advance
and a retreat from the original inter
probation. It acknowledged England's
right to a joint control of an inter-
oceanic canal; gave to her ships, in
case of war, equal rights with our own,
and bound us to a joint offer of our
good offices in settling differences be-
tween Central American states through
which the canal should pass. This
was withdrawal Of contentious which
we had long made and even since have
reaffirmed. 1t was an advance in that
it showed the public recognition of the
fact that, to conform with it's true
spirit, the doctrine must be interpreted
to meet the needs of the hour.
The French Intervention in Mexico
need not be referred to as it was a
fragrant violation of the doctrine as
originally intended, and left us but
one course to pursue. The popular de-
mand that the Monroe doctrine be in
voked to prevent the building of the
Panama canal by De Lesseps can be
cited only as indicating the enlarged
sphere which, in the popular mind, the
doctrine was made to occupy, as the
demand never received official avowal.
President Cleveland's stand in the
Venezuela boundary dispute was dis
tinct advance in the broadening scope
of the doctrine, as it asserted our duty
and intention to prevent, by force OF
arms if need be, foreign interference
in American affairs on any ground the
justice of which we ourselves did not
recognize. This stand received an en-
husiastic popular confirmation and
ongress, in authorizing the appoint
,nent of the Venezuela boundary com
mission, showed very plainly where il

Washington's precepts in the spirit and
not the letter. So at the very outset
there was acknowledged the necessity
Of gradual modification of the doc
trine TO correspond with our growth
and extension of interests.
In 1S4S, the white population of Yu-
catan, against whom the Indians were
waging war of determination, ap-
pealed in turn to the United States.
Spain and England, to assume actual
and permanent dominion over the
peninsula. President Polk strongly
urged upon congress the necessity OF
preventing its transference to any
other power on the ground of uphold
ing the Monroe doctrine. A bill was
introduced IN the senate authorizing
the president TO take military occupa-
ton OF 4ucatan, and would in all prob
ability have prevailed had not the war
ring factions settled their differences
by treaty while the bill was pending.
A tribe of Indians called Mosquitoes
living on the Atlantic coast OF the
lStnmuS Of Panama, and having, as
England claimed, sought and obtained
British protectorate about the middle
of the 18th century, engaged in a war

England espoused their cause and ex-
PEELED the Nicaraguans from Greytown
and took possession of the islands in
the bay OF Fonseca, ostensibly to en-
force claims for indemnity to her SUBJ
Jects If England's claim was well
founded, she had a perfect right to de-
fend territory under her dominion
against armed invasion, and to demand
and forcibly compel the payment OF
indemnity. The American people
thinking that England's action was due
to her desire to secure control of an
lnter-oceanic canal through the
isthmus of Panama, should one be
built, insisted that it was a direct vio-
lation OF the Monroe doctrine and de-
manded her withdrawal. Relations
between the two countries became
strained but the mutual efforts of
Secretary of State Clayton and British
Minister Bulwer secured the conclusion
Of the famous Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
The fact in the case pertinent to our
argument is that the Monroe doctrine
both by diplomatic avowal and in the
public mind, was now interpreted as
an inhibition from foreign interference

old world to interfere with the affairs
OF domestic economy of the coun-
tries In the new. He declared that
"any attempt on the part of thu Euro
can powers to extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere
would be regarded as dangerous to
our peace and safety. and would ac-
cordingly be opposed" This ut
terance has always been their guild
ance.
1t is not alone written statute
nor section of the international
code that governs or controls the des-
tines of great nation" says the great
lawyer, Frederic r. Coudert. THE
Monroe doctrine has not been in
corporated in the code, but there is
an unWritten law, the first article of
which provides that self defense is
always legitimate, either for tle in
dividual or the nation. The American
people have been educated by prac-
tice and principle to believe that
when they were started as a nation
there were two cardinal principles
which they must observe and support
if they proposed to govern themselves

as George Washington and the
should
The first of these cardinal principles
was that we should not interfere in the
internal and interminable broils among
European nations concerning their do
mestic affairs or international quar-
rels. This principle has been strictly
adhered to, despite the many proVoca-
lions for a different course of proceed
ure The second principle laid down
by the founders of our republic was
that no European nation should be
permitted to compromise our national
tranquility by seizing territory or in
creasing its territorial possessions in
the new world The Monroe doctrine
as enumerated 10y the fifth president OF
our republic, is a simple and emphatic
assertion Of the instructions of our
forefathers.
The fact is that though the Monroe
doctrine if an unwritten law, it has be-
come part and parcel of our foreign
policy, and during the seventyfve
years since it was uttered, the Ameri-
can people have grown accustomed to
consider it as sacred as the national
constitution. 1t may therefore be con-
sidered a traditional policy which we
as a nation are bound to support and
defend, even though recent events have
perhaps seemed to suggest that it may
have been subjected to great strain.
The various occasions in our history
on which the Monroe doctrine has been
invoked as expressing our policy.
viewed chronologically, present strik-
ing panorama of its growth and extern
sion. In 1862 came the Panama con-
gress, called by a league of South and
Central American states for the pur-
pose of considering means of making
eEectual the declaration of the presi-
dent of the United States respecting
any Interior designs of foreign
power to colonize any portion Of this
continent and also the means of re
sisting all interference from abroad
with the domestic concerns of the
American governments" In the dis
cussion which arose over the accent
ance of the invitation, the question
was raised whether such a coursf
might not have a tendency to chang
the policy advocated by Washington Or
avoiding foreign combinations. T.
was met by President Adams with tn
argument that our territorial expan
zion and national development in thr
interval bad been such chat our in

1t was on Dec. 2, 1928, that Presi-
dent Monroe, after long and heated
cabinet debates in which the INN ortal
John Quincy Adams, secretary of
state, took no small part, sent 10 con

mulgated what has since that day
been known as the Monroe doctrine.

and also the provinces in South
America, formerly under the dominion

he promulgated the policy that the
