At the time this doctrine of "hards off in
South America" was formulated, several
of the Spanish colonies on the American
continent had revolted with a loud noise
and begun action for a divorce. This was
very trying to SPAIN which was short of
money and could not borrow anything at
the bank without having two signers. The
United States had recognized some of these
colonies as fragrant and independent ma
tions, and when France proposed to bring
over a few boatloads OF first line troops in
carmine pants and restore them to Spain
so that she could take up few OF her
overdrafts, President Monroe sent word to
France that any interference by foreign
governments in the affairs of the American
continents would he resisted by our stand

after the war of arms there will be
1t would be just as queer an intelIi-
gence that figured out, for the United
States, an immunity from necessity
for great skill and wise craftsmanship
If we are to escape unscathed from
that war.
That there will be a complete. read
iustment of Tariffs in the most likely
of things. but that this nation shall be
able to secure its prosperity by the
ancient and primitive device of simply
piIing up tariff schedules is out of the
question. We are now an exporting
nation with vast trade balances in our
favor. 1t is impossible that, after the
war, we can continue to hold these
great balances, because the European
nations are going to be poor and can
| pay us for our commodities only in
their own commodities. We shall have
to import if we are 20 continue to eX-
port. There is no longer a question of
creating prosperity by the erection
of a Chinese wall Of protective tariff
Whatever is done in amending our
schedules will have to be done scien-
tifically, skillfully and with no regard
whatever for old partisan theories OF
any sort.
Also it is probable that, after the
war, the world as n whole will be com
PEELED to slow up for a while in its in
dustrial development. Laden witt

For this reason whatever of develop

be of greater usefulness, and to con

Baron Lancken, the military govern
or of Brussels, who ordered the execu-
ton of Miss Edith CavelI, the English
nurse, on the charge of espionage, is
the most execrated individual of the
entire European war. Judged strictly
by the military law, Miss Cavell, who
assisted young men to escape from
Belgium to England with stories of
what was going on there, was guilty
of acting as spy. Technically the
law of the nation might require her
execution. But there is higher law
of chivalry to woman, law of hui
manity, a law of simple elemental
pity, which should have made the most
hardened judge hesitate to pass a
death sentence upon a woman who had
simply carried out the natural in
stinct of her sex in extending refuge
and suecor to those in peril of their
lives.
