Today J wish to speak to you on one
tealure Of our national foreign policy
eend one feature Of our national domes-
ne policy
The Monroe doctrine is not a part
81 International law. But il is the
fundamental feature Of our entire for
e'Sn Policy so far as the western hem
lSphere Is concerned, and Ii has
more end more been meeting with re-
tognltlon abroad. The reason why II
" meeting with this recognition Is be-
cause we have not allowed II to be-
come iossillzed. but have adapted our
construction Of II to meet the growing
hanging needs Of this hemisphere
Ioss,lzation, Of course, means death.

SSunounce q policy such as the Monroe
