American ambassador to Great Britain, was made the target of inquiry today in a resolution adopted by the senate calling upon the secre~ tary of state to investigate alleged public assertions by the ambassador relative to tho Monroe doctrine and the Panama canal
 Calls for Copy of Speech.
 Senator Chamberlain. aroused oyer reports Of a speech by Ambassa dor Page last night in London before the Associated Chambers of Commerce. in troduced the resolution of inquiry. and his request for immediate considera- ton resulted in it's adoption without debate The resolution requests the secretary of state to produce a copy Tor the use of the senate of Ambassa- dor Pages address, and to call upon the ambassador for evidence upon which he based the alleged statement that it added greatly to the pleasure or the people of the United States in the building of the Panama canal to know that the British would profit most by it's use.'
 Was Extemporaneous Speech.
 Particular request is made in the resolution for a verbatim report of that portion of the ambassadors address in which he is reported to have defined the Monroe doctrine a s meaning mere ly that the United States would pre- fer that TO European governments would gain more land in the new world
 After the resolution had been adopt ed. senators heard of despatches from London saying the ambassadors speech was delivered extemporaneous- " late in the evening and not reported verbatim, and quoting MT. Page as ex- blaming that his reference to British use of the Panama canal was in a. light Vein- II was taken for granted a the capital, however, that in re- sponse to the sta1e departments re- quest the ambassador would furnish his recollection of just what he had sad, with the desired explanation.
 Similar Resolution in House.
 No attempt to oppose the resolution was made when Senator Chamberlain offered ii, the usual custom being to pass such measures as a matter of course. Later in the day a similar res oluUon was introduced in the house by Representative Murray of Oklahoma. a democrat but it did not get before the body for discussion or action. There was no official comment upon the speech or action of the senate. Tn an informal discussion at the White House however, President Wilson fndi cated that the Monroe doctrine was S much a part of the American foreign policy today as a hundred years ago. He did not express an opinion con cerning the ambassadors speech. but when asked whether he considered the Monroe doctrine obsolete, replied he had not heard that it was failing in any way"
