 At nAs been urgeo by some Of our
 u-st statesmen anu scnolaEs that by lnxkLng our foreign poiicy an issue be-
 tween psrIies We weaken our positlon as \ nAuon and our relations with 1vrelxu countries are largely contiDg- snt upon the changes Of 4dminisua- ,lvns. Our lroubles with Columbia is an example Tn point our adminisra- ton ulsposes Of question of very sravs importance. which at one dme ,nreatsusu the continuation of one oi tue greatest enterprises of modern tunes in which Ine whole world is to be benettted. There is no sooner a change of administration than the whole question is reoponed and ne- sotiations entered upon to correct what the present administration con- siders 6 former administrators blun- der or worse. Foreign counties are to feel that we as a nation change our foreign policy with every change of administration and change of the political complication of our senate. If this changes favor bet ter bargain. the nations naturally to delay settlements of con- troversies till the political changes are made. taking chances on a more sav- oarble and complacent pesident or the changing completion of the sem ate. National interests demands that the possibility of this Jockeying for be made impossible and be by establishing an unwrit- ten law in the state department that the position taken by one administra- tion in a controversy be upheld by its successor.
 In order to secure this contenuity. it is necessary for this government to revise its policy towards other Am erican republics to meet the changed which have arisen during the last century. Our South American neighbors have developed into progress sive well organised nations. especially is this true of nations like Brazil. Ar gentlna and Chile who resent being classed with such hotbeds of revolu- ton as Hayti Santo Domingo and the General American states and Venezula under the general term "Latin-Am- erican republlcs." Theye have long since grown out of that class and they demand that distinction should be made.
 The idea that the United States by our Monroe doctrine makes us of all other, American re- publics is strongly resented not only by those which need no protection but also by those who do need 1t. There Is now no tendencies nor desire on the part of any European to change any American republic into e mon- archy or to interfere with their in- ternal affairs. as was the case at the time the Monroe doctrine was pro- muigated. The South American re- pubIics now maintain that the Monroe doctrine is obsolete. so far as the orig inal purpose is concerned. We are accused of keeping it alive as q pre- text for aggression on our part md say there Is more need for protection xainst the United States than from any European power.
 They point to Panama and Nicara- xua as examples. The present admin istration right or wrong. has done much to increase this feeling. We are the m will of our nsighbors when we should have their confidence,
