who occupied for nearly nine years
important government posts in the
Philippines and later served as treas
urer general of Persia, was asked to
explain the phrase
In many respects Japan's attitude
toward her sphere Of influence in the
far east and our policy as expressed
by President Monroe are IDENTICAL"
said Mr.. Shuster. Both countries are
very much in earnest in enforcing
these policies.
"Japan's Monroe doctrine, as it may
past few years. 1t dates, should say.

JAPAN ALSO HAS
MONROE DOCTRINE.
ShuSter Discusses Her Attitude
Toward Eastern Questions.
DOESN'T WANT PHILIPPINES

Says Views Are Identical With Those
Expressed by President Monroe.
They Have Become CrystaIized In
Past Few Years and Began Imme-
diateIy Following War With Russia.
Westinghouse testifying before the
senate Philippines committee on the
Jones bill providing for the ultimate
independence Of the Philippine Islands,
W. Morgan Shuster remarked that the
attitude Of Japan toward far eastern
questions was consistent with a well de-
fined Monroe doctrine of its own. The
phrase has, attracted considerable at
tention. For that reason Mr.. Shuster,
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1915-03-18
Invented in 1889.

The knitting frame was invented in
1889 by William Lee, graduate Of
Cambridge university and native of
Woodborough, near Nottingham, Eng
land. So perfect was the invention in
every detail that to this day the essen
tial feaures of the machine continue
in use for the class of work to which
Lee applied it.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1915-03-18

from the close of the war with Russia,
scarcely earlier. As a result Of this
conflict japan greatly widened her po-
litical horizon. Her victory over Rus
STA made her more assertive aud con-
fident of her power to exercise a de-
cisive influence over the general re-
gion within which lie the Philippines.
Japan Is today without question the
first power in the orient. She domi-
mates the far east much as the United
States because OF it's wealth, size and
power occupies the first place ON the
American continents. And, like the
Americans, the japanese are a very
high spirited people. They have a
pride of their own.
"Any encroachment upon this sphere
by foreign powers would arouse much
the same spirit of distrust or resent
ment as we should feel at similar
encroachment in the western hemi-
sphere. | have no doubt that Japan
would back up her Monroe doctrine
should affairs reach an issue exactly
as we should back up our own policy.
Public opinion in Japan. as in the
United States, is opposed to any plan
for Japan's colonizing the Philippines.
The Japanese have no more idea Of
raising their flag in the Philippines,
for instance. than have we Of coloniZ-
ing the Central or South American re-
publics. The Japanese have expert
mented with colonial empires in For
mosa and Korea, and they do not care
to extend the experiment.
''The Japanese employ scientific
methods in their political plans, and
they have carefully investigated the
question of colonizing in the tropics
and have decided against it. At the
time when it seemed possible that the
United States would part with the
Philippines the Japanese sent their
scientists to these islands to determine
if they were suited for settlement and
development by Japanese The world
recognizes that the Japanese do excel
lent research work. The Japanese sci
entists decided that the Philippine Is
lands did not offer the proper climatic
conditions for colOniZing, and the Japa-
nese government and the people trust
their scientists.
"Still another point common both to
our own Monroe doctrine and the at
titude of Japan may be found in the
attitude toward the governments with
in the spheres Of influence. We Amer
leans are friendly to the small repub-
lies to the southwark and so is Japan
to the existing states in the far east.
She would welcome a republic in the
Philippines, for instance, because it
would be neutral. 1t would not serve
as an entering wedge for some aggres-
sive world power. She would encour-
age such a government exactly as we
encourage the continuance and indie
pendence Of the republics of Central
and South America
