President Wilson

Pres. Woodrow Wilson is in the
South seeking a few weeks rest after
ten months of very strenuous work
as president OF the United States, an
attack of the grip having weakened
him so rest is imperative. He did
not relax his work until. he had
signed the currency bill, thus
completing the second great task of
his administration. His rest means
a cessation of legislative action and
gives an opportunity for review
of what he has accomplished.
The passage of the tariff bill and
the currency bill are two tremen-
dous accomplishments for the first
ten months service as president. Few
If any presidents of the country can
show a better record of accomplish
ment in similar period. AS q doer
of things the president has gained a
strong hold with the American peo-
pie. 1t is generally admitted that
his bold attack on the congressional
lobby has brought about a slacken-
ing OF that kind of work in Washing
ton. In the Philippines he has taken
a long step in giving the Filipinos a
majority in the legislative branch of
their government, thus encouraging
the hope of self government for
these people.
In his Mexican policy the president
has been a hopeless failure. There
is no more prospect of stable and re-
spectacle government there than when
he announced his idealistic policy.
His attitude has been such that
United States has lost it's leadership
and influence in Mexican affairs. He
has sacrificed the principle of civil
service reform for political spoils
whenever opportunity has presented
itself and approved of the most dan
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1913-12-31

II must become more evident to
the thinking man that the Monroe
Doctrine is no longer the most de-
sirable policy for the two American
continents tit was desirable when the
United States was the only strong
and stable government on these
continents but that condition no
longer exists. Almost the entire ter
ritory of South America is now con-
trolled by stable governments and
such countries as Venezuela, Brazil
and Argentine Republic are entitled
to a place among modern world
powers. Aside from the little re-
publics OF Central America, Mexico
and the the small countries on the
Pacific coast of South America the
American governments are strong
and alive to the best interests OF
their countries.
Under these conditions the United
States should no longer attempt to
he a dictatorial big Brother" A
much stronger and we believe a
much better appreciated policy
would be the formation of an ALI
ance of all the American nations.
In the agreement let the present ter
ritorial possessions of each govern
ment be assured, the autonomy of
each, government pledged so long as
A.. manila and
perform it's international obliga-
tions, the granting of territory to
any foreign power forbidden. If at
any time a nation should be unable
to fulfill it's International obliga-
tions let three other nations Jointly
take control of the government and
it's revenues until the obligations are
fulfilled and then the government
turned over to the country as soon
as it could provide a stable govern
ment to conduct its business, the
governments performing this work
to be reimbursed for all expenses
connected Herewith.
This would give recognition to
every government deserving it,
would replace the present distrust OF
the United States with a spirit of con
fidence and cooperation and make q
power so great no country would
dare ignore it. If we could have had
such an alliance to deal with Mexico
the matter would have been straight
ened out long before this. There il
an opportunity for this administers
ton to accomplish a piece of real
diplomatic work.
