Before the Senate had proceeded
far with the Magdalena Bay resolu-
ton discussion came to touch so close
to government secrets that the doors
were closed and consideration went on
in executive silence. Senator Lodge
calling up the resolution to record the
disapproval with which the United
States would view the acquisition of
any property by foreign interests on
the Western Hemisphere which might
eventually become military or naval
bases, declared that its passing was
in the interest of peace.
The resolution declaring the Unit
ed States could not see with grave
concern to any advantageous position
on the American continent passed into
the control of a foreign corporation,
that might be dominated by foreign
government.
Senator Lodge said the Monroe Doc
trine did not touch on the precise
