AMOUNTS 10 the enunciation OF new ,
foreign policy. is just dawning upon the /
.n.nds - officials here.
Instead Il being a new expression OF
.n, Monroe Doctrine II is. and was SO
Intended To- be. the declaration of new
doctrine in tn, International relations

Tn. Lodge resolution was called up

owing - a plea for time upon the par'
Of senator Stone Of Missouri II went
over until tomorrow.
Il IS expected that with the growing
appreciation Of the Importance Of the
proposed new policy d"bat" VIII be
'rc,iul;atel. AS the resolution was re-
ported by Senator Lodge on "Wednesday
from the Committee on Foreign Rela-
t.uus without op"sition its passage Is
confidently predicted.
Taft had opportunity tp have the new
policy. II adopted. bear his name. and
80 take rank with that II the l'resi-
.sn. who first promoluCatcd to the
aoill the Monroe Doctrine. Senators,
" J. understood. urged the President
4, accept this opportunity and let the
declaration embodied in the Lodge reso-
,ution go before the nation bearing
his. the Presidents. name.
Mr. TAFT decided however. that he
vouict ioavc the matter in the hands Of
senator Lodge. VINO has for long
line been plainly moving toward the
anunciation of such a hands or policy
regarding the American continents as
to has now asked the senate 10 in
dorsc.
The policy presaCed hy III" Lodge
-.sulution differs from the Monroe Doc
,rluc in that 1t commits the United
states hcnccforth to prohibit acts by
: f.reiGn corpora tions or associations
which heretofore only foreign nations
have been barred from doing The Mon
roo Doctrine binds this Government to
v!.w as an unrricndly act the acquisi-
Ion by any nation outside the Western
hemisphere Of territory in the American
,ortlnents or the colonization Of these
ontincuts by any nation beyond the
AS.
The .odgc resolution, on the other
nand, would make 1t an unfriendly act

u'hcr territory so situated tha the oc-

AIisng out OF the possibility OF the

senator Lodge holds that his resolu'
t.ar If adopted will serve not only as 6
Ir,.rntNe measure against war bu
Wi relieve the United States of the
ir--!rnity Of an embarrassing situa

IS convinced that the United Statel
