AN INTELLIGENT SURVEY

A year ago. before prohibition be-
zane effective In this State. the Pitts
burgh Gazette Times sent a member
Of its stan through West Virginia

sheets OF the abolishment Of the H.

erroneously reported as being

In view OF the two events. has
the time come for this country TO
approach the other American re-
puohes with the proposal that the
Monroe Doctrine should become a
Pan-Amelrcan Doctrine, guaran-
teeing jointly the territorial and
political integrity OF the two cont
nents; We have publicly pro
claimed that this country seeks no
new territory at the expense OF
other nations. Would not a pro-
mulgation OF such an understand

one knows what combinations OF
thwarted nations nay spring up at
the close OF this war and see In
these continents the possibilities
FOR their unrealized colonial ex-
pansion. To any such combina-
tons. the union of American Re-
publics can say:
I'VE stand shoulders together
on basis OF equality for our com
mon self-protection. We will look
after our own problems in our own
way and without any outside In
reference"
The FIRST thing to recognize In
such a broad political interpreta-
ton OF Pan-Americanism is that
the Monroe Doctrine may become
broader Pan-American Doctrine
into which these new world re-
publics may enter on a basis OF
equality. II is possible that the
dream OF a World Court NAV find
its beginning In the mutual for
bearance and cooperation OF the
Pan-American republics?

THE SAVING ACT

When the financial condition OF the
country was critical at the beginning
Of the present Democratic administra-
ton, what was 1t that stood as a buff
fer against a panic? Not a Democrat
&c measure. or Democratic financial
perspicuity. II was a Republican
measure. the Aldrich-Vreeland act,

and 1914, to stabilize the financial sit
uation. It1s singular that after hav-
ing performed such good service that
the act has just expired by Limitation.
But II served its purpose before il
died. Many Democratic papers have
claimed that 1t was the Federal Re
serve banking system that saved our
financial bacon in those stressful
days. but that act was not in opera
ton at the time.
The New York Sun, referring 10 the
expiration OF the Aldrich-vreeland
act, says that owing to the present
