ALSO THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Remarks Of Occupant Of Roosevelt
Chair In German School Cause
Sensation.

Berlin. oct 3U-The Monroe doc
uine and the protective tariff are TWO
obsolete American doctrines. declared
Professor burgess. dean of Columbia
university in his address before the
kaiser last Saturday.
The text Of the address has just
been made public. The professors re-
marks on the Monroe doctrine are
treated as sensational by the Berlin
newspapers. ON this point he said:
Both Almost Holy.
There are two doctrines in the pol.
icy OF The United States which are re-
garded as almost holy doctrines. the
discussion of which may not even be
proposed by a foreign power without
risk of awakening hostility In the Uni
ted States. These are the high pro-
tectivc tariff theory and the Monroe
doctrine
Our politicians do not appear to
have the least notion that both of
these doctrines are almost obsolete and
that the reconstruction of European
states and their constitutions and the
acceptance by the United States itself
of its position as world power have
made them both nearly senseless."
Professor Burgess said he regarded
the discussion of the protective tariff
diplomatically between the United
States and any foreign government as
futile. He added:
The best interests of the United
States and the world would be advanc
ed by strong Teutonic tide of emigra-
tion 10 South America. by which the
settlement of that gigantic part of the
continent by men capable OF cultivating
