This time, The story is written by

Presidents II follows: After the

Prussia. and Austria formed the So
called Holy Alliance in September 1915.
for the suppression OF revolutions and
for perpetuating peace, rhe Spanish
eolonies in America having revolted, it
was rumored that this alliance contem-
plated their subjuyation. although the
United States had acknowledged their
independence. George Canning, Eng
Iish secretary of state proposed that
England and America unite TO oppose
such Intervention. On consultation
with jefferson. Madison, John Quincy
Adams. and Calhoun, Monroe, in his
annual message to congress in 1873 en-
bodiei what has since been known as
the Monroe doctrine. Referring to
the threatened intervention Of the pow
ers. the message declares: I'VE owe 1t
therefore, to eandor and to amieable re-
Iations existing between the United
States and those powerssto declare that
we should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system to any
portion Of this hemisphere as danger
Gus to our peace and safety. With the
existing colonies or dependencies of any
European power we have not interfer-
ed and shall not interfere. But with
the governments who have declared
their Independence and maintained il,
and whose independence we have. on
great consideration and on just pin
ciples, acknowledged, We could not view
any interposition for the purpose of op-
pressing them or controlling in any
other manner their destiny. by any Eu-
ropean power in any other light than as
the manifestation of an unfriendly dis
position toward the United States.
The PRONUNCIATION of this doctrine is
accredited to Mr.. Monroe. but January
3. 1911, the principle was substantially
enunciated by Mr.. Madison. IN mes
sage to congress of that date, while dis
eussing threat OF Great Britain to
take possession of portion of Florida
claimed by Spain, he used these words:
Il recommend to the consideration Of
congress the seasonableness of a de-
eiaration that the United States could
not see. without serious inquietude, any
part of neighboring territory in which
they have in different respects so deep
and SO just concern pass from the
hands Of Spain into those of any other
FOREIGN power
