SAY NONROE|SM
IS IRRITATING
Doctrine Scored at Pan-Ameri-
can Conference.
DlMlNISHES OUR INFLUENCE.
George r. Tucker, Distinguished
Author, and Prof. Bingham, Of
Yale, Make Plea For South
American Republics.

Worcester, Mass. - Prof. Hiram
Bingham, of Yale, and George F..
Tucker, of Boston, author of The
Monroe Doctrine and other books,
spoke on the Monroe doctrine at the
Clark University Conference on Latin
America.
Dr. Tucker urged the abandonment
of the Monroe Doctrine. THE views
of the Southern republics themselves"
he said, should be considered. The
present protectorate idea of the United
States is very different from the &C
ceptable service rendered to the
Latin-American countries 80 years
ago. If the Monroe Doctrine is as
serted to any further extent the
catholic spirit of the patriot, and not
the inflamed temper of the jingoist,
should be brought to the settlement of
the differences. Even those South
Americans who do not fear our i'm
perialism realize the selfshness of the
Monroe Doctrine, and it makes them
dislike US and mistrust our foreign
policy.
Consequently. by maintaining this
national shibboleth and adhering to
the words Monroe Doctrine, we
diminish our possible influence for
good in the Western Hemisphere. and
we interfere with the growth of our
foreign commerce.
I'VE owe it to ourselves to give up
the words Monroe Doctrine and to
adopt policy of Pan-American de-
Tense which will enable US to secure
the friendship and support of our
neighbors in the Western Hemisphere,
which will increase our influence for
good among them, and will remove
any handicap in the development of
our foreign commerce.
Professor Bingham. head of the de
partment of Latin-American history at
Yale. declared that the Monroe Doc
trine is distasteful to the Latin-Ameri-
can countries. When the South
Americans use these words he said
"or compress them into one-'Mon-
roeism the meaning is for them a
sinister one 1t spells tutelage and in
tervention; it means the desire of the
great and powerful United States to
interfere in the personal affairs of the
American republics. To the citizens
Of the leading American republics like
Argentina, Brazil and Chill, our ad-
herence to Monroeism is extremely
irritating, and even positively insult
Ing. To the lesser republics, par
ucularly those around the Caribbean
Sea, Monroeism means interference,
Intervention, imperialism and annexa-
ton"

HUERTA'S MESSAGE
TO HIS CONGRESS
Defends His Acts as Dictator
and Imposes New Tax.
U. S. MOT REPRESENTED
Also Orders Issue Of Small Bills.
His Effusiveness To O'Shauoh-
messy Exctes General
Comment.

Mexico City.-His face showing
none of that whimsical humor which
sometimes characterizes him, Presi-
dent Huerta appeared before the new
Mexican Congress and read his mes.
sage.
Few Mexican Presidents have read
at the formal opening sessions of Con
gress shorter messages and few have
confined themselves so entirely to one
subject 1t was nothing more than a
terse explanation Of his motives for
dissolving the old Congress, most of
the members of which are now in the
penitentiary, accused of sedition.
There were no eXtraneous frills to
the session. 1t was more in the
nature of little business meeting of
the President and the men converted
into lawmakers during the recent So
called elections.
The message General Huerta bore
TO them was in its essence an admoni-
ton. The incident he related to them
OF the dissolution Of the previous Con
gress was one by which it was init
mated they might be guided in their
conduct as Congressman.
The message, as stated in the fore
cast was chiefly a review of the po-
plea of justification for the assump-
ton of dictatOrial powers, the dissolu-
ton of Congress and the Imprisonment
Of the Deputies; a denunciation of the
latter for alleged harboring of trea-
sonable designs; demand for a COM
plete vindication at the hands of the
new Congress and ratification of his
acts, and a rather bombastic and stilt-
ed protestation of patriotism. That
Huerta would promptly get the rati-
ticatiOn seemed to be beyond doubt.
The forecast was correct, even to the
quoting of Napoleon.
The reply of the Speaker, Eduardo
Tamariz, was brief Not all the Con
gressmen were present
Huerta, who appeared in evening
clothes, was applauded only upon his
arrival and departure, when the mem
bers of Congress and the spectators
rose to their feet and added "Vivas"
to the handclapping.
The only country not represented in
the gallery reserved for diplomats was
the United States. Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, the Charge d'Affaires, acting
under instructions, was absent from
the session

MORE TROOPS
TO THE BORDER
An Infantry Regiment Ordered
to Ell Pas0.
MORE CAVALRY AT LAREDO.
United States and Great Britain
Acting In Harmony AS To
Disposition Of Naval
Forces

Washington-Rein of the
American troops on the Mexican from
tier is the latest development relat-
ing to the Mexican problem, but this
movement of troops was declared to
be not at all alarming by official state
ments issued in explanation. 1t was
said at the War Department that one
of two infantry regiments is to be or
dered Immediately to Fort Bliss, near
FL Paso, for the purpose of freeing
one of the cavalry regiments now sta
toned at that fort for active duty
along the international line in the
execution of the neutrality laws. The
choice will fall upon the Sixteenth
Infantry, now at the Preside, San
Francisco, or the Twentieth Infantry,
stationed at Fort Douglas, near Salt
Lake City, Utah.
To serve as a garrison and defend
the city of e. Paso from any possible
attack from the south of the line or to
police the city in case of rioting it
was said that the infantry organization
would be as serviceable as the
mounted soldiers. On the other hand,
not being as mobile, the infantry could
scarcely fill the place of cavalry on
the border patrol.
The next result of the order is to
increase by a full regiment the force
Of American troops available to main
tain order along the border. That
their services may be needed for this
purpose was asserted by members of
the Texas congressional delegation,
and Secretary Garrison yielded to
their appeals when he learned through
the press dispatches that the Federal
leaders were again approaching
Juarez, opposite FL Paso, and that the
rebel general Villa, who only recent
ly had captured the town, had gone
forth to meet the Federals in battle.
With the feeling of apprehension as
to the safety of the oil tanks near
Tuxpam allayed by pledges from the
rebel leaders that there would be no
violation of property rights there, navy
officials were considerably relieved.
1t was expected that onefof the two
British aTmOred cruisers from Bar
BADGES would put in an appearance at
/ Tampico almost Immediately, and ap.
parently it was felt safe to withdraw
the battleship New Hampshire from
Tuxpam, particularly as the battle
( ship Louisiana remains in that neigh.
borhood to look after foreign interests.
With the removal of all misunder.
standing as TO the reasons for the
visit of the British ships to the 2il
coast, it was felt that the lines w
protection against anarchy would be
strengthened materially. There has
been fear that an attempt might be
made to fire the great oil tanks,
wherein are stored nearly 100000
barrels OF petoleum.

Seattle, Wash.-Samuel Gompers

Labor for another year. After re-
electing him by practically unani,
nous vote and selecting Philadelphia
as the 1914 convention city, one OF
the most unexciting conventions in
