Repriinand Not Likely.

1t was evident today that Mr.. Page will
not get a reprimand from the White
House or State Department for what he
said 10 his British audience about the
Monroe doctrine and the pleasure it
would give this country to see Great
Britain profit by the canal The admin
.stration Will transmit to the Serate the
explanations of MIR. Page and that will
be the end of it, although the hope was
expressed in high official circles today
that the action of the Senate in calling
FOR an explanation viii have the effect of
dctsrrinE otns: ambassadors from saying
things that may bring trouble to the ad
ministration.
The President is adept at phrase
Hlosv himself. and he does not seem to
think IL necessary that American repre-
sentatiyes abroad are called upon to show
stern aggressiveness or march around
with big sticks upon their shoulders to
Impress the other nations OF the world
with the fact that the Monroe doctrine
is a lve-wire proposition loaded with
sharp shocks for any country tampering
with IL.
Whatever discussion is started over the
Monroe doctrine at this time it may be
said by authority that the President AID
secretary Bryan have not the remotest
idea that Europe will seek to make
trouble foC the United States i'll Mexico
now or in the future. Europe might have
reason 10 become preJuulced over the
Panama canal and other questions and
