BRITAIN AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE

These aI-wise political gentlemen of Washington.
who seem TO have thought that by Ringing their
hopes on the Monroe doctrine insisting that it be
incorporated into the League Of Nations covenant,
they could kin the league Europe would not ac-
cept it. are again nursing sort Of soreness in the
vicinity their strategic solar pexus. Europe has
accepted it, caring little about it, Europe moth

An interesting commentary on the Monroe doc
trine is also contained analysis Of the League

In it's essence il is consistent with the spirit
OF the covenant and indeed the principles of the
league as expressed in article y represent the
extension 10 the whole world Of the principles
Of this doctrine; while should any dispute
to the meaning of the latter ever arise between
the American and European powers, the league
Is there to settle It."

Monroe first announced the famous doctrine it
has seldom been mentioned on the other side of
Atlantic except in condemnation affected

For many years the British government has given
practical recognition to the doctrine. and indeed

PRICE AGREEMENT TO
REMAIN DESPITE HOG
SURPLUS, INDICATED
lBy .he Associated Press,

Washington, Jan. 21.-Frank S.
Snyder, head of the food adminstra-
ton meat division, said today that
despite the hog surplus he would not
recommend abandonment of the
price agreement policy when the hog
committee meets January % to con-
slider the February price.
The present surplus, Mr.. Snyder
predicted, would turn into a deficit
this year. He said the pendelum
would swing within three months if
Europe could get money and ships
to take requirements of food.
Under the price agreement policy
the basic price of hogs maintained in
October was $3.50 and maintained
at $3.50 the last three months.
Mr.. Snyder said the food admins
tration in justice could not recon-
mend abandonment of the agree
ment with the producers, as it was
based on the cost of production and
made to stimulate hog breeding to
feed the Allies. The administration
undertook to stabilize the price SO
the farmer should count on getting
their price," he said, and it now re-
manned to do justice to the farmer.

Amsterdam, Jan. 22.-Although
the majority socialists obtained an
absolute majority in Berlin and su-
burbs Sunday, according to a Berlin
dispatch to the Handelsblad, they
cannot consider the result satisfac-
tory as the four bourgeois parties
found more support than had been
expected, The Lokal Anzeiger; of
Berlin estimates that the bourgeois
parties up to Tuesday afternoon had
gained as many seats as the two So
cialists combined. Ed,

WILSON AND LLOYD
GEORGE AGREE ON
RUSSIAN PROBLEM
Both Regard Issue as More
Important Now Than a
League Of Nations, Reported
(By the Associated Press)

Paris, Jan. 22-President Will
son and David Lloyd George are
in complete agreement as regards
the Russian situation, according
to the Paris edition of the London
Mail. They regard settlement
Of the Russian question as an ABB
solutely necessary preliminary to
the formation OF a league of ma
tions, the newspaper declares, and
they arc anxious to secure evil
(lence of accredited bOlshevik rep
resentatives as to the status of the.
Russian affairs.
"French opinion" continues
the newspaper, "is not at present
in favor of this admission OF the
bOlshevik regime but the English
proposal is that the bolshevik
government should he invited to
send representatives to give evil
dcnce of what territorial powers
they claim. II thereby an agree
ment is reached as to the terri
tOrial delineatiOns the different
Russian delegations can be de-
featetl."
"Unless this is done, Mr.. Lloyd
George fears parallel with the
French revolution when an attempt at
by external powers led
to the creation of great national
army. Such an event might occur in
Russia If allied armed Intervention
we're pursued.
French opinion on the other hand
seems inclined to support the Poles
who are stated to be preparing to
raise an army and to limit II not
crush bolshevikism II assisted with
and officers.
The bo1shevik attitude 80, far as
it can be continued at present Is:
They do not desire TO become 4 great
industrial nation and are anxious that
Russia remain purely agrarian and
self-supporting. y

old Scavenius, the Danish minister
