322.450 square miles and extends from
Portuguese Angola ON the north to the

The declaration Of the Monroe doc
trine has never received the sanction
OF an act or resolution OF even our
own Congress, and therefore forms
no part Of the municipal law of the
United States, nor does it have any
sof that authority which European
states attach to royal ordinance.
Indeed, Congress has never been will
ing to commit the nation to any COM
pact or pledge upon the subject.
Declined to Take Part.
This is apparent from the fact that
our national assembly declined to en-
ter into or send official delegates to
the Congress at Panama in 1926,
when some of the Spanish-American
states met to consider means OF
carrying the doctrine into effect So
it is readily to be presumed that the
Monroe doctrine is not an interna-
tionaI law In any conceivable sense.
The doctrine had for its object the
maintenance of peace on the western
