International Disputes Ends
Sessions.

The Monroe doctrine again received at
tention in the speeches at the banquet
last night at the Shoreham Hotel which
marked the closing of the fourth ma
uonal conference of the American So
ciety for the Judicial Settlement of In
ternational Disputes
David Jayne Hill. former ambassador
TO Germany. gave a picture of an imagi-
nary case which he termed the reverse
OF the Monroe doctrine as seen from the
other side. Mr.. Hill cited a supposed
offer OF purchase of the Island of Heligo-
land In the North Sea by the United
states on the occasion of its actual sale
py Great Britain to Germany as proba-
DIE. and characterized as justifiable the
attitude OF the latter country i'm asking
our government to desist from its efforts
70 acquire that strategic point Ger
many. ne said. would in ali probability
beg US not to pursue the matter. and in
case OF refusal. would intimate the adop-
tioh OF measures of prevention.
Value Made Apparent"
This is the Monroe doctrine seen from
the other side said .ur HILL land the
view thus given makes its value to the
nations of the western world apparent
10 the thinking man He further char
acterized such imaginary action as an
impertinence to Germany
Belief in the ultimate substitution of
sle phrase OF Pan-American Policy"
Tor that of Monroe Doctrine" was
voiced by John Barrett. director of the
Pan American Union in an address in
which he made light of the recent as
sailments of the doctrine by college
professors. and their Characterization
Of III as IAN Obsolete Shihholathn or :,
"FTankenStein."
Mr.. Barrett deplored the patronizsng
spirit so common in discussion of mat
tiers pertaining to our South and Central
American neighbors due to lack of ac-
curate knowledge of their resources prog
reSS IN commerce and excellent records
Comparing the relationship between these
nelghbors and this republic to a partner
could a Junior partner in a concern rise
TO condition of full partnership if there
remained any tinge of patronage on the
part of the once senior partners.
Policy Acceptable to All.
BY the phrase pan-American policy
| mean policy acceptable to and ap-
proved by all the American nations,
protecting alike the sovereignty and
governments of each without the sug-
gestion of preponderance, dictation or
BY eliminating the attitude of abso-
lutte dlctation and centralized power
which the Monroe doctrine has been
interpreted In Latin America as apply
this hemisphere; by the substitution
of "Pan-American" for Monroe" and
thus including all the American ma
tlons as sponsors: and by the substi-
tuition of policy" for doctrine" and
thus removing the hard. unyielding. di-
dactic and dictatorial suggestion of the
word doctrine" q long step will be
taken toward new era of pan-Ameri-
can comfy had confidence, said Mr.
Barrett
THE Monroe Doctrine will endure and
continue to be a great international
principle only to the degree that il is
evolved into a policy of all the Amer
ican republics" said the speaker in con-
ciusion.
Senior Godoy a Speaker.
The Mexican minister to Cuba, Senor
Don Jose F. Godoy. in his address, said
that he should speak feelingly on the sub
ect OF the contrast of war and peace,
inasmuch as his country is now in the
that help from members of the associa-
ton, especially those of this country, is
due and will be given to Mexico.
That he believes that this republic will
-
hict further ones, and that, ruled by no
coyetous spirit. 1t will let Mexico solve
its problems in it's own way and never
become destroyer of liberty or inde-
pendence; was stated by Senior Godoy.
That the phrase '.solicItous, but not
troubled or better, perhaps, Interested
but not troubled" fittingly describes the
feeling of Canadians and British alike
concerning the outcome of the settlement
OF Panaman and Mexican matters by the
United States was the opinion of Justice
William Renwick Riddell of Toronto
we are perfectly calm over these
and kindred matters" said Mr.. Riddell.
and perfectly certain that the American
people will do what is right in the
eyes OF the world. Americans were in
the same state of mind when British
warships were ordered to Mexican
ports.
Should Stand Side by Side.
Nations coming from the same source
having the same language and worship
ing the same God, shall stand. and
even fight. side by side for justice
truth and righteousness, concluded the
Canadian jurist.
