An Associated Press dispatch

day says:
In an address to the University
of WISCONSIN today, Professor
John A.Latane, of Washington and
Lee University, defended the
Monroe doctrine as If replying to
recent attack on the doctrin, by
Professor Wheeler, Of Yale.
"Cntics OF the Monroe doctrine
have called it the will-of. the-wisp
of American politics, but in spite
of the attacks it stands today In
the words of President Roosevelt
as the cardinal principle of Ameri
can foreign policy. We have taken
a hand in the politics of the Orient
and seem destined to take an active
hand ia it's development, but i
cannot logically be maintained
that this will lead to our interfer
ence in the domestic concerns o
any European State, or give an.

interfering in the domestic con

tinent."
