1.-THE Monroe doctrine should be the car
dinal feature of the foreign policy Of all the
nations Of the two Americas, as it is Of the
United States. The doctrine is declara-
ton that there must be no territorial ag-
grandizement by any non-American power at
the expense Of any American power on Amer
lean soil. 1t is in no wise intended as hostile
to any nation in the old world. Still less is
it intended to give cover to any aggression
by one new world power at the expense Of
any other. 1t is simply a step, and long
step. toward assuring the universal peace Of
the world by securing the possibility of per-
manent peace on this hemisphere.
This doctrine has nothing to do with the
commercial relations of any American power,
save that 1t in truth allows each of them to
form such as 1t desires. In other words, it
is really guaranty of the commercial in
dependence of the Americas. We do not ask
under this doctrine for any exclusive COM
mercial dealings with any other American
state. We do not guarantee any state against
punishment II 1t misconducts itself, pro-
vded that punishment does not take the
non-American power.

Development of Hawaii.

"Our aim should be not simply to reclaim
the largest area of land and provide homes
for the largest number of people. but to
create for this new industry the best possible
social and industrial conditions; and this re-
quires that we not only understand the ex-
isting situation, but avail ourselves of the
best experience of the time in the solution
of it's problems A careful study should be
made, both by the nation ard the states, of
the irrigation laws and conditions here and
abroad. Ultimately 1t will probably be neces-
sary for the nation to cooperate with the
several arid states in proportion as these
states by their legislation and administration
show themselves fit to receive it.
"1n Hawaii our aim must be to develop the
territory on the traditional American lines.
We do not wish region of large cities titled
community Of men who themselves till the
islands should be shaped with this end in
view; the well-being of the average home
maker must afford the true test, of the
healthy development of the islands The
land policy should as nearly as possible be
modelled on our homestead system.
ut is pleasure to say that 1t is hardly
more necessary to report as to Porto Rico
than as to any state or territory within our
continental limits. The island is thriving as
never before. and 1t is being administered
efficiently and honestly. Its people are now
enjoying liberty and order under the pro-
lection Of the United States, and upon this
fact we congratulate them and ourselves.
