Il is to the mutual interest Of
Great Britain and Germany, and
perhaps other European nations, to
enter into combinations against tie
United States. Net all Of them sill
combine, for there would not BE- sun :
Client Involvement on the part of small
eE nations, and conflicting interests

the United States are not those of
Europe, and ue must face the fact.
The vital interests of the United
States require the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine. The interests Of
Europe dictate the violation and
breakdown of the Monroe doctrine.

break Il down. No one nation can
do this. but they hope to accomplish
this by powerful combinations work
