uce OF which nc one seems to have disputed
To clamp down on the islands resources or annex
part of it's territory would have been a dangerous
leucrOachme if not an actual violation OF the Mon
roe Doctrine. 10 fact the President takes the view
that this doctrine would have been violated had we
allowed foreign nation to step n in such manner.
II we are to profit by the Monroe Doctrine says the
executive, we must also ept certain responsible
tiles along with the rights it confers.
In the name OF the United States President ROOse.
velt accepts those responsibilities by negotiating
protocol with San Domingo under the terms af
which this government takes charge of the collection
of certain customs duties in the island and makes
an equitable distribution of them in satisfaction OF
outstanding obligations, thus leaving excuse for
European interference.
This looks like a reasonable position. It certain
ly would be unjust to foreign creditors for the
United States to say that they cannot means to
collect what is Justly owing them and then at the
