WHAT'S THE EXPLANATION?

1t is announced that twelve pre-
dreadnaught battleships of the Ameri-
can fleet will soon be taken out of com
mission and either "scrapped" or sunk
in target. A good many lay minds
wonder why ships of this kind should
be "scrapped" or sunk. That they
would have some value in naval de-
fease in time of war is certain. They
could be used as transports in emer-
gences. Their upkeep would be a mat
ter of small cost. Why the anxiety
to break or sink such ships, represent
ing an investment of many millions
of dollars, and still possessing vastly
more value as ships than as junk

AMERICANiSM
BY Grover Cleveland

The Monroe Doctrine may be aban-
! doned; we may forfeit it by taking our
lot with nations that expand by follow
| ing un-Americal ways; we may out
grow it, as we seem to be outgrowing
other things we once valued: or it may
forever stand rs a guarantee of protec-
tion and safety in enjoyment of free
| institutions; but in 10 event will this
American principle ever be better de-
fined, better defended or more brave
ly asserted than was done by Mr.. Olney
in this dispatch.
The doctrine upon which we stand is
strong because its enforcement is i'm
portant to our peace and safety as a
nation. and is essential to the integri-
ty of our free institutions and the tran
auil maintenance of our distinctive
form of government. 1t was intended
to apply to every stage of our national
life, and cannot become obsolete while
our Republic endures. If the balance of
power is justly n cause for jealous anx-
iety among the governments of the
Old World and a subject for our abso-
lutte non interference, none the less is
the observance of the Monroe Doctrine
of vital concern to our people and their
government
Holding that an engagement to share
in the obligation of enforcing neutrality
in the remote valley of the Congo would
be an alliance whose responsibilities we
are not in a position to assume. l alb
stain from asking the sanction of the
Senate to that general act.
This incident and the events leading
up TO it signally illustrate the impolicy
of entangliances with foreign powers.
1t has been the settled policy of the
United States to concede to people of
foreign countries the same freedom and
independence in the management of
their domestic affairs that we have al |
ways claimed for ourselves.
