There are indications that the world
will not have to wait for interesting times
in the Gulf of Mexico aud the Carri-
bean seas. Ex-Sec. Roots address giving
the latest Interpretation of the Monroe
Doctrine is perhaps significant. No one
is better entitled to speak for the Presi-
dent of the United States and to outline
Republican policy than the distinguished
Ex-Secretary of War. We have repeated
ly said hands Off to Great Britain and
Germany and inferentially to all the
world with reference to Cuba, San Do
mingo, Venezuela, and to all countries in
this hemisphere. But our prohibition it
is conceded carries with it an obligation
on our part and it is our 'behest as the
only first class power in this hemisphere
in assuming to defend these weak powers
to also see that they behave themselves
and pay their debts. A parent may de-
fend spoiled child but he must at the
same time protect his neighbors from its
outrages. The Monroe Doctrine is the
assumption on our part of the white
mans burden with reference to the
Antilles and South America.
