dynamite. "
Mrs Halsey at once wrote Mrs. NV.

SENATOR LODGE in recent speech
said that European nations must re-
member that any interference with
our Monroe Doctrine policy meant
war. This declaration is only an
other sample of political demsgogism'
So far as we know there are no war
clouds in sight and no demonstration
of any contemplated encroachment
upon the Monroe Doctrine by Euro
pean nations. 1t is surprisingly
strange that prominent men, who
should be guardians Of the nations
peace and happiness, are constantly
stirring up strife, turmoil and confu'
sion. There is no indication that any
European nation contemplates inter
ferring with us in any way, and 1t is
both silly and presumptuous to be
continually talking about the Monroe
Doctrine as q defy to the world. The
politicians who pirate over such imsg-
mary dangers are among the worst
disturbers Of public peace and the
eountry's safety.
