Discuss Monroe Doctrine
BY R. A. GALLEY


1913, the policy of European
diplomacy HAS been to preserve
the Balance of Power" The
aim has been to prevent wars for
conquest or benevolent ABSORB
ton. The result has been that
this policy has caused most of
the wars during these nearly 300
years. If the negotiations that
close up this great war are laid
out along these lines, peace will
not be enduring. During these
years Europe has not really had
peace. 1t has been an armistice
only.
In the light of the foregoing
fact, the writer has been forced
to reconsider the Monroe Doc
trine. While realizing that it
never had any foundation in In
ternational Law, there never had
been any question either of our
right to maintain it or of it's val
lie as protection against en-
croachments of foreign powers
which might in time endanger
our very national existence.
Laid alongside of the Balance
of Power policy, this doctrine
now looks like war breeder.
The war-causing qualities of
the BALANCED of Power policy
lay in the fact that as soon as one
nation, say France, would ac-
quire q new piece of property,
Morocco for instance, then Rus
STA and England must each have
a sphere of influence in Persia,
Germany must have naval base
in the Mediterranean Sea, and
Austria must have Bosnia, and,
SO on, ad infinitum.
Has not our Monroe Doctrine
began to work the same way?
We have troops in Nicaragua,
and stand ready to throw troops
into Mexico. if occasion requires,
in defense of this doctrine.
This war has brought to light
some conditions and principles
that have Jared statesmen loose
from old habits of thought and
method of procedure. Chang.
ing the figure, it has thrown
everything into the melting pot.
lthas been the dawn of a new
era. 1t has revealed more clear.
ly than anything else the utter
futility of itself by opening up
for negotiation and settlement,
issues supposed to have been
settled by war as far back as
1880 years ago. Another means
must be found.
One would think that in this
bedlam the minds of statesmen
would be approaching delirium.
Not so. During the same period
such bedlam prevailed in Europe, /
yet the men in the Convention of
1857 achieved the most stipend
uous result of constructive think
ing ever accomplished in history.
The minds of statesmen will set.
tie down to the great task before
them. |

WHISTLE IMPORTANT
. SAFETY DEVICE

An example of the detail which
must be considered by railroad in
its efforts to provide safety is the
elaborate experiments conducted by
the Southern Pacific to find the most
efficient means of handling the loco
motive whistle. 1t has been found
that the average motorist or pedes-
trian is quite familiar with the stand
ard crossing signal-two long and
two short blasts-and that unless
the signal is given just so, he is apt
to dispute priority right to a crossing
with probable disaster to himself q.
Some time ago the railroad began
a series of tests as to the carrying
power of sound, the effect of tone.
length of blasts and the intervals be-
tween them. The results are en-
bodied in concrete instructions to en-
gineers.
Superintendent T. Ahern of the
Coast Division, in a letter to en-
gineers, says: Extensive tests show
that whistle call for a station signal
should never be less than five sec
onds, the long blasts of the crossing
signal two and a half seconds, and
the short ones one second. Particu-
lar care should be exercised to cut off
the blasts sharply and not to slur
them. 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance in causing sound to travel that
these instructions be carried out. Af-
ter sounding whistle cut off the
steam completely and allow percept-
IDLE time to elapse between the
blasts. They then are carried to a
distance very much more clearly than
IL jumbled into one continuous blast.
The travelling public has become
thoroughly familiar with the crossing
signal. When it is given as instruct
ed it will attract much more atten-
tion than if carelessly sounded. The
whistle is an important safety device,
of which we must make most eff
cient USE"

SELFISHNESS IS
FOE TO PATRIOTISM

Portland, Feb. 1S.-The greatest
stumbling block in the way of the
Food Administration is the selfish
ness and unpatriotic Indifference of
the average Oregon family, accord
ing to Federal Food Administrator
w. B. Aver, who says that wholesale
and retail dealers throughout the
state are cooperating splendidly, but
that the public in general, through
individual greed and selfishness, is
proving serious obstacle in the sue
cessful carrying out of the admins
tcation's conservation plans.
Many families are splendidly pa
triotic,' said Mr.. Aver, "and are 10y
ally observing the conservation re-
quirements in every detail, but many
others are either selfishly or thought
lessly ignoring the regulations, and
in addition are making life miserable
for the grocers, who must restrict the
sales Of flour and sugar. Ill-natured
complaints and threats Of discontin-
ued patronage are made by angry
