People Approve Presidents Policies.
So Mr.. Roosevelt is certain that the
American people approve of his three
principal policies, the building Of the
Panama Canal with efficiency and
economy, but anyway with efficiency
The government control of Interstate
Commerce, and the equalizing of rail
ways and his belief that the Monroe
Doctrine can best be inforced by the
maintenance Of large navy to be
used not as a menace to other powers
but as promoter Of respect and
therefore world peace. If any one

army had been disorganized by vice
and drunkenness, and stating that It
might become necessary for Germany
to check the yellow PERIL" since
Russia had failed to do SO, has arous.
8ed considerable discussion.
The Morgen Post declares that 1t
