The President puts 1t very plainly when
he saws that when we announce policy
such as The Monroe Doctrine, we thereby
commit ourselves to accepting the cohse-
uuences of the policy. and these consa-
uuences from time to time are altered.
And we say amen.
We do not pretend that the Monroe
Doctrine as construed to-day is the
Monroe Doctrine as 1t was understood
by Monroe, Adams and Lord CANNING,
but this doctrine, which was originally
intended to forbid the establishment Of
any monarcha system Of Continental
Europe as it existed about the year 1871
in any of the reYolLed colonies of Spain,
has been developed into a jealous prohi-
