SAYS BRITISH AID
MONROE DOCTRINE
DR.. Stanton Colt Tells Column
bia Students Kings Navy
Helps L. s. Uphold It.

The British navy has been the main fac
tor responsible for the strict observance
OF the Monroe Doctrine, IN the opinion OF
DR.. stanton Colt. president of the Ethical
Church OF England. who spoke yester-
day before tho Columbia University In
stitute ~ Arts and Sciences on The
New Awakening of Democracy In Eng
land Since 1905, he said. democracy
has taken on new strength throughout
the British Empire.
considering all OF England as an en-
pire, she Is the greatest democracy IN
the world DR.. Colt said. "All Of the
colonies are s~elf-soverned, with the
same sovereignty as was claimed by
the United States. and there Is a greater
degree OF self-government in the col
onies han In this country. Australia
and New Zealand have woman suffrage.
Premier AsIuith could not hold out
against the New Zealand wonen.
"No one who loves democracy could
be glad to see the breakup OF the
British Empire. England is old. but
the British Empire is younger than the
United States. 1t vas only In 1877 that
Queen Victoria became Empress of In
dia, and the other colonies are com
parativeiy young as a part Of the EN-
pire. And England has done for india
only what the United States has done
for Cuba n what the United States
is doing in the Philippines and what
she may have to do in Mexico.
IF America is planning to build IN
her navy, II IL because She feels tina,
England has protected the seas for SC
long that she will now come to her
aid. 1t has been England who haa
helped the United States in the main.
tenance of the Monroe Doctrine. Since
1890 England has stood In the front IN
insisting on the Independence OF tn,
South American republics.
England has had her dark ages, ex.
tending from 1850 to 1908, but since
that time progress and reform hay.

It Is the England of Cromwell ant
