SENATOR WOULD ADHERE
TO MONROE DOCTRINE
Mr.. Spencer Tells Petworth Cit.
zens Covenant Must Not De-
stroy That Principle.

Before the covenant of the league
of nations can be ratified there must
be nothing in it that might destroy
, or diminish the power of the Monroe
doctrine" said Senator Spencer of
| Missouri. speaking at a meeting of
the Petworth Citizens Association, at
Petworth School, last night. Senator
Spencer said that he was in favor OF
cerain parts Of the league, particu-
larly any legislation that would tend
! to lessen the chances of further war.
Mexico owns Lower California" he
said. "and Japan wants 1t. Japan has
as much right to buy it as We had
to buy the Virgin Islands, except for
one thing, and that Is the Monroe
doctrine. japan would not be in pos
session more than twenty-four hours
sending soldiers to dispossess her.
American battleships would appear on
the horizon and lombard the coast"
q. S. No Longer Isolated.
He said that the United States was
no longer an isolated nation, but that
I'VE were geographically interviewer
with the rest of the world" and that
the nation had interests abroad as
Of the large amount of territory
owned by the United States, especial
ly the island possessions.
Senator Spencer also touched on the
Mexican situation. and said that the
recent outrage Of the ransomed Army
officers made the blood in every
American tingle. He advocated the
same policy toward Mexico as that
adopted toward the pirates Of Tripoi
in 1901, when the United States re-
fused to pay any further for freedom
of the seas.
Spoke of Spy Activities.
Senator Spencer spoke of the num-
Der of spies during the war. and said
that majority of them were trying
to find out the secret relationships Of
the different countries. He said that
that part of the league of nations
would be particularly strong, mas
much as there would be no more Sc
cret treaties.
He spoke also of the high cost of
living and advocated suffrage for the
District of Columbia. J. L. Carr. presi-
dent of the association, presided at
the meeting.
