to be taken care of by the nations of
Europe.
In reserving our own Interpretation
of the Monroe Doctrine and info, cil.g
that doctrine the United States p1 ac-
tically guarantees the boundary lines
of the small nations on this he,nis-.

Wilson has waited too long for his
speech and work to have any effect
upon the adoption of the peace treaty
