FRANCE IN BELLIGERENT MOOD

Five French cruisers are under orders to assemble
at the island Of Martinique, Of the Windward
islands lying north of Venezuela This naval exped.
ton is destined to ntimdate the Venezuelan govern
ment and compel the settlement of disputed points
that have existed since the narrow escape from war
tvo years ago. France determined to bring the
issue a climax and President Castro appears to be in
bellicose mood. Unless adjustment be effected
satisfactory France the seaports of Venezuela will
be blockaded as announced from Paris.
An international issue always is delicate when it
reaches the point of military preparation
eventuaities of French blockade of Venezueas
ports there will be interference with large
merca interests in which Americans are concerned And
that would lead to a situation that might at any mo-
ment draw the United States into the tange de-
fender Of American interests and a backer of the
Monroe doctrine.
1t should be understood, however that the principle
of the Monroe doctrine will not be involved by the
blockadng Of the ports of Venezuela. Only in
of the landing of French troops, with the object
of conquest will the policy of the doctrine in,
terpose properly has nothing to do with the troubles
which southern republics get into with foreign powers
long there is no invasion of territory.
But the attempt of formidable foreign power to
coerce a weak republic will not be viewed with COM
placency by Americans No matter what the merits of
the may be, American sympathy is apt to be on
the side of the under dog in the fight" That was the
regard to the Beer war; and the sentiment
evinced the outset of the Russan-Japanese
war when it generally thought the odds were
greatly the side of Russia.
The true policy of the United States is to stand
firmly for the Monroe doctrine but to go no farther

collector for European bad debts contracted in the

city would pull together instead Of pulling apart as
they do almost every question of public improve

The Bees discouraging outlook results from a con-

UNFAIR PARK DISTRIBUTION

two small breathing spots. And because Of its level
