GERMANY AND THE MONROE
DDCrRINE

According 10 tue Information re
eeived from the Pan-American dipl0-
mats 10 Berlin, Germany's attitude on
the Monroe doctrine seems favorable
towards this counIry's position. II is
stated by the colleagues. IN Washing
ton, OF these Pan-Amerioan delegates
that Baron Won Bnelow, German min
lster Of foreign affairs, said that Ger
many recognized the existence and
understood The extent OF the applica-
ton Of the Monroe doctrine and that
she has 10 intention Of hindering the
construction Of the canal by the
United States.
by this position Germany takes cog
~nizsncs of the fact that the United
States has become 8 world power Of
such importance that she is capable Of
maintaining her position eve al the
point Of the bayonet il necessary.
Doubtless the reoent foreign comphca-
lions in which the United States gov
eminent has been involved and the
way N which she has maintained her
principal contentious in the diplomatic
contests With the representatives Of the
Older countries has shown TO Germany
the power OF America in the worlds
national family. If these Pan-Ameri-
can diplomats have rightly understood
Germany's position it can not be other
wise than gratifying to the department
of state At Washington.
England and her CisYtOn-Bulwer
will be easily disposed of when
the proper time comes, as England
alone would not dare to 60 farther than
a strong diplomatic protest.

AZ rs regular monthly meeting TO.
day, the board of directors OF the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition COM
psny unanimously adopted The report
Of the executive committee, which had
selected the Forest park site as its
choice for the location OF the Worlds
far, to be held in this city in 1908. A
resolution was then passed empower
ing the executive committee to report
the result OF the boards action to the
national commission tor ratification.
President Carter aud other members
OF the national commission have stated
all along that they would defer largely
to the judgment OF the local Worlds
fair management in the matter of a
site, and It Is not thought that there
viii be any delay in the ratification of
the action OF the local directors in
reporting the finding Of the executive
committee as 10 the site.
The site selected consists of G6S
acres IN the western, or unimproved,
portion Of Forest park, which contain.
between 1870 and l.40O acres. and Il
the second largest city park IN The
country. In addition $50 acres adioir
ing on The south and west arc avail,

acres or one-thrd more space thar

BIGRER TnAN SEcRErARY HAY.

IL Is OF little consequence 50 far as
practical results are concerned that
Secretary Gage, in imposing a coun-
iervailing duty on Russian sugar,
acted ~ direct opposition to the for
eign policy Of Secretary OF State Hay.
The fact that Secretary Of State Hay
has not had the nerve to csll down
Secretary Gage for his unwarranted
disturbances Of the diplomatic relations
between this country and Russia is
evidence Of the powerful Influence Of
the sugar trust in state affairs. The
president Of this graspiDg trust is 4
bigger factor in state affairs than the
secretary OF state who is supposed to
direct matters.
