ROOSEVELT va. MONROE.

Senator Morgan has dug out of re- cent issues of English financial jour- nals some extremely interesting read ing matter bearing on President Roese- velts attitude toward the South Ameri- can republics. It will be remembered that the President startled the coun- try a year or so ago. by announcing as corrollary of the Monroe Doc urine that our neighbors to the South of us must "act with decency in in dustrial and political matters. keep erder and pay their obligations" or the United States would feel in duty bound to compel them do so.
 Senator Morgan's material shows that Costa Riea in making new ar arrangements to secure her indebtedness abroad. amounting to nearly twelve millions of dollars, has agreed with Speyer and Company representing the bond holders. that these shall be en- titled to apply to the United States of America for protection against any violation of and for aid in the enforce ment of the agreement and the re- funding bonds. This agreement re- mains to be ratified by the bondhold- CTS and the government of Costa Rica. The hondholders will, of course, be glad to ratify and since it will improve Costa Rica's credit immensely, it is altogether likely the plan will he acceptable to that republic. Is Presi-
 
 ment. .u...
 Senator Morgan made no comment on the documents submitted by him. but a query is implied by the mere fact that these papers were laid before the Sen ate The London papers accept with out hesitation, the statement that our government Is behind the contract, knows it's terms and approves 1t. The markets have responded and Costa Rica's bonds have mounted consider ably in price.
 If the President is behind the bondholders, 1t would not be more sur prising than his conduct in the San Domingo affair. There on the petty pretense that there was danger of foreign intervention and the seizure of territory, he intervened and operat- ing under a treaty that has never been ratified has taken control of the finan- ciaI affairs of the island. depositing one-half the proceeds in a New York bank. By the proposed Costa Rica agreement he is invited in advance to intervene there in behalf of the bond holders if they shall request his aid It Is no stretch of the imagination if this country backs him up in what is brand new Monroe doctrine, that 1t will not be many years before we are saddled with the administration of a half dozen or more defaulting South American states. Our own perfor- mances on the Isthmus furnish no very pleasant augury of our success in such stupendous undertakings.
