this doctrine for themselves
The question today, so far as our own
national defense is concerned, is, would it
be a menace to interests ceutered 50
far away as the United States if a Euro
pean power, whose political and even
religious aspirations may be the same as
our own, should attempt to acquire terri
tory in Argentina, for instance? Such an
assault would, of course, affect the inter
estS Of that country, but should the nit
ed States attempt to interfere in the mat
ter unless asked by Argentina to aid her
IN fnrOwing of the menace that assailed
her?
Leading statesmen of Brazil and other
south American republics have declared
that the Monroe doctrine is discredited in
the republics for whose benefit it was
devised. not that they do not appreciate
