The British. French and Dutch Gov

navy tn protect their interests along the
Mexican coasts, II WAS said, and the
diplomatic representatives OF these Gov

Ia keep the waters adequately protected

In the past II has been no unusual

Mexican waters has been always n mat

sailors might have to be landed and
questions involving the Monroe Doc, rine
brought up. The general policy OF the
United States Government has been "let
our ships protect your interests as we'll

Officials at the Navy Department ex-
