The Monroe Doctrine will be respec-

sponsiblities that go with it.
Tins is the gist of the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday'by Sir Henry Thorn

Eastern Railway of England, formerly
of the Long Island Railroad The for
mer American railroad man was knight
ed because of his services as transpor-
tation expert during the war in Eng

III Europe accepts the Monroe Doc
'trine, it is only reasonable for the
European governments to expect the
united States to accept the response

able competition on the seas. If that
is the impression, then l think that

has been the case. The rapid growth
of the German mercantile marine is
such as to prove beyond doubt that

prevent a competitor from going to
