President Monroe furnished the pre-
cedent for President Wilson address

that he transmitted 1t instead OF pre-
senting it 10 the senate In person.
The old original Monroelsm meant
first OF all, the protection OF the
United States. Peace and safety
and peace and happiness" were the
phrases which President Monroe used
!, in serving notice on European nations
that the new world was not subject to
colonization BY them.
The menace OF mOnarchial instltu'
tons was not so pronounced as the
peril of territorial ggrandizement
The Monroe administration recognized
nonarchial institutions on the west

principle OF the mutual benefit arising
from such alliance"
These instructions were issued in
January, 1924. No formal alliance
was formed, but the United States
showed its friendship for the Brazilian
monarchy for more than sixty years,
and even was little slow 10 receg,

After the SpaniSh-American war,

in the minds of some college profess

American people, as whole, while
their ideas at times may not have
been clear as to just what the doctrine
meant, never have shown a DISPOSE

on it as still essential to our national

THE RIGHT OF CONVOY

The Intelligencer referred yester-
day to the propriety Of the United
States conveying its merchant ships,
which would safeguard them through
the unrestricted warfare zone, and
thereby avert the possible overt act,
which would mean war. 1t is now said
that we have the undoubted right to
convoy our vessels under International
