Ending the Monroe Doctrine

The denials that the so-caled covenant
involving a society of nations will, if
adopted, end the Monroe Doctrine as
sumo that the popular ignorance of the
Monroe Doctrine is SO great as to make
safe any sort of statement concerning it.
The Monroe Doctrine will go-all Of it
will go. Something antipodal will be
substituted. Not even metaphorically
will it survive. 1t will retain existence
merely in Pickwcllian sense. This
statement will be accepted by all whose
logical faculties are sufficiently developed
to recognize that when propositions are
contradictory both cannot be true
The Monroe Doctrine first recognizes
that the republics of the Western Hemi-
sphere have set of primary interests
different from those of Europe second,
that those republics are in need of pro
lection from Europe; third, that the
United States will provide this protcc
tion. The United States, within the
limits described, asserted it possessed a
special sphere of influence. To abandon
this special duty in favor of a general
guardianship is not to "fulfl'' the Mon
roe Doctrine, but to destroy it. Under
the new arrangement the American re-
publlcs may be adequately protected; it
may be that time has arrived when
1T is wise and desirable to relieve orr
selves Of a burden carried for nearly
one hundred years; but, even so, those
things do not alter the fact that there
is fundamental change
The Monroe Doctrine is one thing and
world guardianship Of the rights of
the American republics is another. The
two things are as contrary as the "sphere
OF influence" policy, as applied in the
Near East and the Far East, is con-
trary to the open door" policy, which
says spheres Of influence shall not exist.
We speak Of Japan's Monroe Doctrine.
which means Japan's special position in
the Far East is to be recognized. We
speak Of Australia's Monroe Doctrine.
which means that Australia is to be
allowed to keep bad neighbors from
drawing too near. But a Monroe Doc
trlne OF the world is an absurdity.
We have before US, as a correspondent
OF The Tribune notes, not an ideahstic
or realistic but nominalistic pbi-
losophy There is an effort to substitute
words for ideas, just as there is a raid
on realism by attempting to use words
for facts. Why?. Because it suits the
political desire of some to mix the nublic
up Terms are given new meanings,
and then discussed as if they had the
old meanings. If a storm of confusion
IS developed, if the public does not know
what to think, it is believed the storm
can be ridden to personal ADVANTAGE
Are the intelligent people of America
to be fooled by such tactics? Every
one who has faith in our general mental
capacity will answer "Now

The Winners

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Germany's winners arc now threat
ening another war unless her enemies sur
render the victory they have won and make
peace on the terms demanded by Germany.
If this is the attitude of Germany, would
it not he a wise policy for the Allies and
America to drop the peace negotiations for
the present, seal UP the ports of Germany,
decline all traffic or intercourse with her
and let her stew in her own juice for
year or two? Perhaps her statesmen t0
will have learned little sense by that time.

Here's something very interesting about
