Thus the phrase Monroe Doctrine"
has been employed at different times
by President Wilson to suit his dla-

Grave apprehension is expressed IN
many quarters lest the appearance Of
President Wilson in the rolesof an ar
bitter or assistant arbiter Of the destl-
nies Of European nations may weaken
the Monroe Doctrine, n Il does not
gradually lead 70 the virtual abandon
ment Of the traditional and generally
recognized American policy Of non-ln-
tervention In the politics OF the other
hemisphere.
II we accept in the most literal sense
President Wilson's declaration less than
three years ago at the Pan-Amerlcan
Scientific Congress I'm Washington there
should be no fear Of his inldelity 10
the Monroe Doctrine. lie said on Janu-
airy Z, 1916:
'The Monroe Doctrine was proclaim
ed by the United States on her own au-
thority It always has been maintained
and always will be maintained, upon
her own responsibility?
On the surface this would seem %
be an unqualified reahlrmstion OF the
principal from which American policy
has never swerved during almost a
century Yet the President went on tc
limit ,he significance OF his words
by narrowing his definition Of the
broader policy OF n0n-lnteryention
which the familiar phrase denotes %
the general understanding. "The Mon
roe Doctrine" he added, demanded
merely that European Governments
should not attempt TO extend their po-
litlcal systems 70 this side OF the At
lantic"
About a month later President VIII
son returned TO the Monroe Doctrine
in a speech delivered on February ,.
1916. at Topeka, Kansas
America knows that the only thins
that sustains the Monroe Doctrine and
all the inferences that flow from 10 Is

And a year later ia his address OF

Senate on essential terms OF peace I'm
Europe, ne expanded his definition Of
the Monroe Doctrine into sentimental
nebulosity IL not into practical obsur-
dity by saying:
Il am proposing, as II were. that the
nations should with one accord adopt
