We hear so much of the Monroe
doctrine" that we are constrained to
think of it as some kind of iron clad
international law. But IL Is not. It's
validity depends merely upon the abil-
ity Of the United States 70 enforce 1t
by bluff. strategy or otherwise. II Is
Il kind Of unwrittcn law of the code OF
nations.
This doctrine or theory was pro-
n0unccd by President James Monroe
in 1923. The reaction In favor OF
monarchical government which fol-
lowed the fall of Napoleon had among
It's consequences the proposal Of Spain
to regain her South American colon
ics which had won their independence.
Russia also began to extend her claims
on the Pacific coast. II was with ref
cnce to such tendencies that President
Monroe included in his message OF
1923 this statement Of the policy OF the
United States toward foreign powers
attempting Ito extend their system to
his portion OF the hemisphere.
This doctrine was not ratified by
congress. and its validity depends. as
VIC said above, not upon international
law but upon our own backbone and
nerve.
Mr.. Monroe was captain In Wash
ington's army, studied law under Mr.
Jefferson and. at the time that he pro-
mulgatcd his message. he had as his
secretary of war, John G.. Calhoun.
Association with such men az those
named must have given Mr.. Monroe
n broad perspective Of life. His cleo
tion to the presidency was due to his
having been secretary OF war to Presi-
ident Madison during the trying per-
iod OF the war of 1872. We doubt not
that HI. famous pronuhciamenio
might equally as we'll be styled 1.-The
Calhoun doctrine" for Mr.. Calhoun
was the secretary Of war when this
somewhat bellicose II not beligerent
message was sent TO congress.
Mr.. Monroe acquired the Florida
territory from Spain and recognized
the independence OF Mexico and the
South American republics and engin-
eered the Missouri compromise, but 1t
is upon his famed Monroe doctrine
that his greatness will rest In this
he declared the American policy OF

seven times the amount found,

The suggestion is that the first
shower of rain which succeeds a
drought has in Its augmented ferti-
iising properties. and 1t is probable
that this delayed fall serves as spe-
ciflc stimulant to vegetation apart
from the refreshing qualities OF rain
as rain.
