ENGLAND TURNING TO
MONROE|SM,
Lord Lansdowne States Hiatt if Pow
ers Try To Establish Naval Base
in Those Waters They
Must Fight Great
Britain.

London. May s.-foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed a British Mon
roe doctrine in the Persian gulf and has
practically notified the competing powers
that any attempt on their part to es-
tablish naval base or fortified post in
those waters means war with Great Brit
ain
81 say without hesitation" said the for
etgn secretary dealing with the subject in
the house of lords Yesterday evening,
that we should regard the establishment
of naval base or a fortified port in the
Persian gulf by any other power as a
very grave menace TO British interests,
and We should certainly resist it with
all the means at our disposal
Lord Lansdowne preceded this explicit
enunciation of Bri ish policy by review
of the situation there. as 1t affected Brit
ish interests, contending that 50 far as
the navigation of the gulf was concerned
Great Britain held a position different
from the others, both because it was
owing to British enterprise and expen-
dituro of life and money that the gulf
was now open to the commerce of the
world, and because the protection Of the
sea route to India necessitated British
predominance in the gulf
Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this mat
ter generally meets with approval al
though the answers thereto Of the other
powers interested in the gulf are awaited
with some anxiety. The newspa pers here
comment on the analogy of the present
proceeding which Captain Mahap SO
strongly recommended to the United
states policy of MOnrOeiSm.
