Monroe noetrine Not obsolete.

Prof. John ". Burgess spoke only FOR
himself Of course, when he told the an
suspecting Germans that the Monroe doc
trine was almost obsolete. though most
Americans are. as the professor said, un-
aware Of its obsolescence. It would be
strange if anybody Of consequence in Ger
many were deceived by the professors ex-
preston Of private opinion into the belief
that sc represented President Roosevelt's s
views on an important question Of inter
national policy. For the President has on
more than one occasion expressed opinions
directly the reverse Of those entertained
by Prof. Burgess. He has always stood
squarely on the Monroe doctrine. and has
persistently based HIS argument for a
larger navy on the necessity of adequate
preparation for the enforcement Of that
doctrine, should occasion arise fer the use
OF naval power in that connection.
Evidently Prof Burgess had iu mind the
political rather than the military aspect
OF the Monroe doctrine. II is true that
there is no likelihood Of the establishment
OF monarchical institutions on American
soil through European colonization, and
that danger may be said TO have passed.
But We are not yet free from the possibil-
ity that some European nation. pursuing a
policy Of foreign aggression Ia It's ambition
TO become a wOTld-pOWeT. may Covct and
attempt 10 acquire American territory.

ward the American nation. We could not

possible aggression the Monroe doctrine
stands as a solemn warning. 1t viii not
