THE CHILEAN INCIDENT.

Colonel Roosevelt, making speech while in
Chile recently INDUCED illusions to the Mon.
roe doctrine, and the spokesman of the Chilean gov
intimate the Chilean governments belief that the
Monroe doctrine was back number.
Thereupon according to the dispatches, Colonel
Roosevelt took ofense and retorted vigorously, de-
Tending and further setting forth the general attitude
of the United States toward that doctrine.
1t develops that the Roosevelt speech was vised
by the Chilean minister in this country, before
Colonel Roosevelt left here; that the Chilean
minister sent a copy of it to his home govern
ment, and that the home government selected DR..
Marchial Martinez to respond to it. So there is
pretty satisfactory evidence that the Chilean admin
israon deliberately took advantage of the occasion
to get itself on record regarding the Monroe doc
trine.
Back in 1881, during the war between Chile and
Peru, Chile smashed the power of Peru and took
huge slice of Peruvian territory. The Washington
Government attempted to interfere, and succeeded
in making spectacle of itself and earning the ever
lasting enmity of Chile, without helping Peru. We
had business interfering and when did it under
the theory that the Monroe doctrine gave US a GER
tain supervisory authority in this half of the world
We made the Chileans hate that doctrine.
Yet later there were various uncomfortable diplo-
matte frictons with Chile The Chileans don't like
us. They have reason not to like us. They are by
far the best diplomats in the Western world. Their
foreign Office, over generation or two generations
past has been far superior in diplomatic understand
ing 6nesse, and method, to our They have had
Machiavellian way of drawing the United States
into automatically impossible positions, and then
watching it squirm out best it might with the
world smiling in amusement. One of these cases
CURED only few years ago, when MIR. Tafts Admin
istration got into such mess over the Alsop claim
that it required the assistance of European diplomacy
to straghten out matters and save everybodys face
especially our own 1t was the crude, ignorant
methods of certain American diplomatic authorities
that caused that affair.
Small wonder, then, that Chile doesn't like US
and our Monroe doctrine. No great wonder that the
Chilean government seized occasion to state its
views in the most public way, to get them be-
fore the people of the United States. .
Unquestionably the Chilean sentiments are in
effect the sentiments of all South America. The
Monroe doctrine mean it today is very differ
ent from the Monroe doctrine that American prac-
tce has brought into bad odor with South American
governments. There is yet pressing need that thor
ough understanding of it be reached. The recent in
cident demonstrates this most conclusively

observed:
Now the folks in Washington are
kicking because we included In the
