Japanese people from the just an
}nounced plan to spend a264, 000, 900 to
30, 900, 900 yen building new bat
tiers in the next seven years.
R Exactly what the plan under con-
sideration by the finance department
sof the government is, nobody knows,
but according to the paper Jill,
usually q well informed publication,
the outlay for .tthe ideal feet calls
for about $4,000, 900. Other pa
spers' estimates are q BIT lower.
"A hot debate on the program is
expected at the forthcoming session
of the Diet because Of the expense
involved. The program is backed by
navy leaders and also, 1t Is said, by
the ministers OF marine and finance.
Newspaper reports have It that
Japan proposes to build three super
dreadnaughts, two battle cruisers, II
light cruisers, 10 destroyers and
many U-boats.

Start for That Student Union.

Editor the Missourian: In regard
to the proposed Missouri Student
Alumni Union. Zone never saw a
coward where the shamrock grows
neither has any state ever performed
feat that Missouri couldn't improve
on.
The students and alumni of the Uni
versity of Michigan. working together
have perfected a student alumni Tn
ion. They have s750,000 building
fund TO show for IT. The OrganiZa-
tion is growing stronger each day and
has long been a success.
There is no logical reason why
such union could not be organized in
this state. The great objection that
might be raised is-we students alone
can't accomplish il The same cry
will come from the alumni throughout
the state. The answer is, do it to-
gether. Unless il is started by both
students and alumni, for the good of
both and for the good of the Univer-
sity, it will have no place.
Let the students know what il will
mean, and let the alumni knOw-then
it will be the greatest thing for the
University of Missouri since 1899,
when the school was founded.
The possibilities of such a union
have been mentioned in the Open
Column. There is little doubt but the
things suggested would be possible.
With the school growing as it is. a
better place must be provided for the
students to meet. The older students
will tell of the good done by the re-
ceptions in the corridors of Academic
hall. Why were they stopped?-too
many students: too little room.
Granting the students and the alum

it be started? Here is a solution:

chosen. Let them confer with the

TIMELY U.OFM. BULLETIN
ON THE MONROE DOCTRINE

Discussing President Roosevelt's
ardent support of the Monroe Doc
trine Mr.. Stephens says: "In his
grasp of its fundamental Importance
and meaning, and his appreciation of
the mOmentous consequences of its
various interpretations, few American
statesmen have equaled him. In for
eign countries he was regarded as its
most uncompromising champion.
No other public man in America has
discussed so frequently and so fully
the scope and character of the Mon
roe Doctrine"
The Roosevelt corOllary developed
gradually through a period covered by
the Roosevelt administrations, and its
most momentous Interpretation was
expressed by Secretary of War Root,
when he said "The declaration of the
what We will not permit the great
powers of Europe to do on this cOnti-
nent. we will not permit any American
republics to make it necessary for
the great powers of Europe to do. The
obligation of civilization to see that
right and justice are done by these
republics, which we protect with our
strong arm against oppression by the
other powers of the world, is an Obli-
cation that must always go with the
right that we assert"
Discussing President Wilson's for
eign policy. Mr.. stephens says: "In
at least one particular, Mr.. Wilson has
taken a more advanced position than
any of his predecessors. He has set
himself firmly against the revolution
airy governments of political adven-
turers, set up to serve their personal
interests and ambitions. This is not
new doctrine. 1t is the Monroe
Doctrine mOderniZed."

The Monroe Doctrine, Its Origin,
Development and Recent Interpreta-
tion," by F. F. stephens, assistant
professor of American history, is of
acute interest just now. The discus
sion is in the form OF bulletin just
issued in the social science series of
the University of Missouri Bulletin.
The greater part of American for
eign policy during the past century
may be summed up in two phrases"

that America was now closed to future
colonization and erected a barrier

countries by European powers.
Since that time the scope of the
Interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine

the convenience of having fresh
vegetables from the home garden is OF
much value. Many times vegetables
that come from the market are lack

of the home garden product. Further

vegetables from the grocer is avoided
by keeping a garden. The available
vegetables from the garden can be

plies to finish up the meals can be
secured from the grocer.

WE HAVE PATRIOTISM

When discussing national prepared
ness. some Americans doubt whether
our citizens are patriotic. Consequent
ly, they think that we must get
patriotism before the United States
can be adequately prepared or begin
To train her citizens.
Such reckless observation of our
national character is due to the alb
stractness of the trouble-making word
patriotism" care should be taken as
to how we or our nelghbor interpret
the word. for too frequently people fl
in such abstract words just to argue
their point.
We hear one citizen preach anti
militarism because he sees danger for
our country if we have large arma-
ments. Immediately, one who differs in
opinion will say that he is not a
patriotic American because he does
not want to protect his country. But
the same patriot probably had an il
lusion. Someone else comes along in
time of a crisis saying that il is un-
patriotic not TO stand behind the Presi-
dent. whether our country is right or
wrong.
Every country is patriotic in the
sense that the people will unite to beat
a common enemy. We know that the
Mexican factions will bury their diff
ferences to fight a common enemy.
We know the patriotism of the Bel
gians, Irish. Serbians and Russians
Our patriotism aginst an enemy goes
back TO the traditions of 1876. We
saw it in the war of 1872, in the Civil
War and in the Spanish-American
War.
Indubitably, we Americans are
patriotic for our country. The hy
phens will vanish in time of danger
