TO INSURE PEACE
THE PRESIDENT TO ANNOUNCE
HIS POLICY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Mass, September 23.-Inside
Information has been received from a close
friend OF President Roosevelt that the lat
ter is preparing message to- Congress In
which he will declare for new policy by
which the United States can be assured of
permanent peace with Europe. 1t deals
with proposition to make the United
States virtually the guardian for all the
republics in the western hemisphere, with
no European interference in the affairs Of
Latin America.
The rough draft of the message has teen
read over to Senator Lodge and Ambassa-
dor ChOate by the President, the general
tenor being some definite arrangement by
which all disputes between the United
States and foreign powers are to be set
tied by arbitration. He has already urged
Congress to provide for this in general
treaties.
AS to the republics south of this country,
he wants a policy for benevolent guardian
ship to be adopted. If they try to repudiate
their just obligations or willfully and ma
liciously involve themselves in disputes with
foreign powers, it is the duty of the United
States TO intervene. In such q case the
Offending states will be forced by the United
States TO make due reparation, either by
money payments or other atonement to
satisfy the Offended European power
In case foreign nations are aggrieved,
they must not invade any American states,
but If they cannot obtain redress, this means
being denied them, it will be the duty OF
the United States (under the new proposed
policy to obtain redress for them and
within a reasonable time.
The substance of the message is approv-
ed by Secretary Root, Senator Lodge and
Ambassador Choate, the latter having re-
Gently consulted large financial interests
which are more or less supported by the
British government.
