The November Atlantic prints a pnper
on the two overshadowing international
questions-reciprocity and the Monroe doc
trine. America always passlvely disliked.
has now evidently become most threaten
ing question to European diplomats. How
can our recent inroad into Industrial and
financial Europe be met or counteracted
Will reciprocity treaties accomplish this
end. and how long will Europe tolerate
our enforcement OF the Monroe doctrine,
which they look upon as dog in the
manger policy, believing that we will
neither absorb South America ourselves nor
permit Europe to do So All these ques-
tions, and many others equally vital and
important, flowing from them, are dis.
cussed in a paper entitled Europe and
America, and contributed by Sidney
Brooks.
