Washington and Jefferson Didn't
Have Our Problems, W. II. !:
Taft Says.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE pol
icy Of Washington and Jefferson
with reference to entangling ALI
ances and the theory America has
been favored by fortune with q
splendid isolation were declared
to be inapplicable utterly to pres
cnt conditions by former Presi-
dent William II. Taft at a dinner
here last night under the auspices
of the League to Enforce Peace.
In the light Of the present ma
tional crisis" said Mr.. Taft
"prepare to disregard the warn
ings given by Washington and
Jefferson against cntangling ALI
ances. When this advice was Civ
en- this Nation numbered only 4
million persons and was four or
five. times farther removed from
Europe than now, in point Of
time required for transportation
Since then the United States
has become world power. Meth
cr Washington nor jefferson ever
dreamed Of our japanese ques-
ton, our Philippine problem or
those raised by the Panama Can
al. At that time there was no
Monroe Doctrine to preserve and
