LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
NEW YORK DIET KITCHEN APPEAL

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every charity which inciudes a'ooi's
it's beneficia ries the babies of TINS CITY ll"uS
it difficult and almost Impossible at 'l''S
season to procure the necessary 1uhoS LUZ
their relief and for the instruction 81 iehe-
ment house nlotheTs-an incaicuiaoie te
tor for good in the prevention OF Sickness
This is the case with the New York Ihet
Kitchen Association which furnishes pure
milk to the sick poor, on the pfeSeh'd 'ioi'
OF acquisitions signed by doctors nurses
and other charitable agents. More than
this. at the instance of the Board OF Health
mothers are supplied with milk, IN ordei
thai they may be able 10 nurse their III
fants. prevention being better than cure
In response to the demands of many phy-
sjcians milk is sold a the various kltchehS
for nominal sum. to prevent patients
from again becoming i'll because oil ths
use of grocery store milk. This is es-
pecially true in regard to the bapieS uh-
der the care of this society. The results
obtained have been of a most surprising
and gratifying kind but a deficit neces-
sarily accompanies this benehcent pollc|;
An additional tax upon the treasury mas
been the opening of new kitchen on july
in The Bronx. Within few days nIlN
ia bieS brought thefc loI tito'ii'O'iN'
The offer of the Department o. Health to
provide doctors and nurses for daily
clinic was gladly accepted. The mothers
are taught how to modify the milk ana
how to care for their infants; indeed, baby
conferences are held in each of the nine
Kitchens To make assurance doubly sure,
the faithful matrons visit in the homes
and see 10 il that the instructions given
are properly carried out. Seven hundred
and sfxty-rine children under two years
OF age have been cared for during the last
mouth by this society There is no doubt
that the reduction in infant mortality may
be traced in large measure to the work
of the New York Diet Kitchen AssoCia-
ton 1t must not he forgotten that tuber-
culous patients and those suffering from
any Illness receive help at the kitchens.
The cost of supporting a kitchen for one
Year is about $500 The managers have
been told by those in authority that II
they could have eighty milk stations the
infant death rate in New York City would
be diminished by one-half.
[ desire TO make most earnest appeal
TO the generosity OF the public for money
with which to continue and still further in
crease our efforts to save human life. In
the absence of the treasurer. donations
may be sent to

President of the New York Diet Kitchen
Association.

BE{rH on MONROE.

The noor, old Monroe Doctrine seems
to have gone a-glimmerins again. This
time if is summarily disposed of by DR.
Emil Reich whom his numerous ad-
,nirers acclaim as the Admira BILE erich
ton of history. diplomacy and interna-
tional law. Or. Reich has heard and
repeats that the United States is about
TO take complete charge Of Liberian al
fairs. and thus 10 establish what can
mot be considered other than as SOW
eighty jim Africa and such conduct.
in his opinion. which he supports with
yoluminoils citations and arguments,
constitutes grave breach of the
Monroe Doctrine which he interprets
Is recprecaIly warning Europe 10 keep
bands off the American continents and
pledging America to keep hands off
Europe. Asia and Africa. If. there
fore" he SAYS America breaks with
THE Monroe Doctrine-and that would
"hecome unmistakable if they should
follow up their intention in Liberia
THE Germans would tperbapS
with Italyl declare 10 have free action
lin South America hether
the readiness Of the alleged consent of
The German government 10 the pro
posed annexation of Liberia by the
Inited States was made with Il cley-
"erly anticipating view Of obtaining Il
free hand i'll South America I viii not
presume 10 decide
1t is surprising and disappointing TO
have Or. Reich affect such ditfidence
and decline 10 decide Il matter upon
which he is doubtless the supreme au-
1hority. Yet that is 4 minor issue. for
il is perfectly clear that if his argu-
mentS are sound the Monroe Doctrine
j. ALREADY discarded broken dead, de-
fnnct without waiting for our action
i'll Liberia. For surely it cannot have
escaped the attention Of the learned
doctor thai nearly Il dozen years ago
the United States established S0ver-
o,gnty in the Eastern Hemisphere over
Z domain vasity greater than Liberia.
True. the Philippines are not technically
i part Of the Asian continent. Yet they
pertain 10 it as certainly as Cuba and
Hayti do to The American continents.
And if the Monroe Doctrine was in
tieed. Il pledge of American ScIf-abnega
ton concerning all the rest Of the world.
then it certainly was violated and an
nuled by our annexation Of the Philip
pines just as much as it would be by
our annexation Of Liberia. So Dr.
Reich is now bethwacking 4 man of al
ready much-ihra shed straw. and Ger
many qberhaps with italy, has for more
than eleven years had the privilege of
free action in South America.
There are. however. just two little OBJ
StacleS in the way Of realization Of Dr.
Eeich's ilidescent and fiamboyant
vision. One is that the United States
has not and never had the slightest
thought of pursuing such Il course in
respect to Liberia as that which he i'm
pute< TO it, The other is that the Mon
roe Doctrine has no such circumscrip-
tory force as that which he attributes
t. it With these corrections etc, the
learned doctors diagnosis may be ac-
copied as an entertaining contribution
to The joys of the Silly Season.
