MONROE DOCTRINE PRAISED
BL LORD ROBERT CEcHL

London, Jan. 29.-(British Wireless
Service.) Lord Robert Cecil the Brit
ish authority On league of nations.
praised the Monroe Doctrine in an in
terview today regarding the interest
of neutral countries, especially Latin
Americ2. in a league of nations.
The Monroe Doctrine has given
satisfactory results IN practice" he
said, which just1fiies It's further ap-
Dlication as Il model Of operation. The
league of nations could appoint the
American nations themselves as the
mandatories for the execution of its
principles regarding territorial integ-
gritty where these principles affect
countries. In this manner the United
States and the Latin Aerican repub-
lies could act in conformity with their
policy already established"
Lord Robert added that if the
European action were exci!3.7ed in the
American continent the occasion
might arise when an American nation
might unjustiy damage the European
| interests. To avoid this it would be
advisable tina a court or similar in
stitution be formed by the American
countries themselves to consider and
| decide the sanctions applicable in
each case.
