There are certain offenders, whose Grim

cruelty towards the weak. who need spe-

for example, is nadenuately punished by
Imprisonment; for Imprisonment may often
mean nothing to him, while it may cause
hunger and want to the wife and children
who have been the victims of his brutallty.

the adherence of the United States to the
Monroe doctrine may force the United
States. however reluctantly, in fragrant
cases of such wrongdoing or impotence to
the exercise of an international police
power If every country washed by the
Caribbean sea would show the progress in
stable and Just civilization which with the
aid of the Platt amendment Cuba has
shown since our troops left the island. and
which so many of the republics in both
Americas are constantly and brilliantly
showing, all question of interference by this
nation with their affairs would be at an
end.
In asserting the Monroe doctrine in tax
ing such steps as we have taken in regard
to Cuba. Venezuela, and Panama, and in
endeayoring to circumscribe the theater of
war in the far east, and to secure the open
door in China. we have acted in our own
interest as well as in the interest of hui
mainly at large. There are. however. cases
in which, while our own interests are not
greatly involved, strong appeal is made to
our sympathies. The cases. in which we
could interfere by force of arms as we in
terfered to put stop to intolerable condi-
tions in Cuba are necessarily very few.
