Lord Cecil Endorses
The Monroe Doctrine

LONDON. Jan. 90 British wireless
Servjce) Lord Robert Cecil, the Brit
ish authority on a league Of nations.
praised the Monroe doctrine in ain inter
view to-day regarding the interest OF
neutral countries. especially Latin
America. in 4 league OF nations.
Neutral countries. cannot OF course,
take part in deliberations directly con-
ccrncd. If neutral countries prepare a
practical plan for submission TO the
conference the representatives OF the
great powers will be glad to consider II,
although it must be a plan containing
concrete issues and not theoretical soiu-
tions drawn upon paper.
Tho Monroe doctrine has given sat-
isfactory results in practice which jus
tifics its further application as A model
Of operation. The league OF nations
could appoint the American nations
themselves as the manufactures for the
execution of its principles regarding tcs-
ritorial integrity so far as these princ'-
pies affect American Countries. In this
manner the United States and the Latin
American republics could act IN con-
formty with their policy already es-
tablished."
Lord Robert added that II the Euro
pean action were excluded in the Amer
ican continent, the occasion might arise
when an American nation might UNJUST
Wy damage the European interests. To
avoid this It would be advisable that
court or similar institutions be formed
by The American countries themselves
TO consider and decide the sanctions ap-
plic1blc in each case.

BRITISH ACCEPT
WILSON THEORY
OF Internadonalizahon as Ap'
piled to the German
Colonies.

PARIS. Jan. c9.-(By the Associated
Press )-While tho council OF the gTea;
powers today were giving their atten-
ton to Poland. chief interest was CEN
tered In n series OF private conferences
in the upper chamber OF the American
and British delegations. where efforts
were being made TO reconcile the rather
acute issue which has arisen over the
disposition OF tbs German colonies.
The American position has been quite
definitely stated in favor of the inter-
naturalization OF these colonies under
the league OF nations. with mandates
rs trustees to such powers as under
take 10 administer them. But the Brit
ish dominions. which are chiefly inter
ested in the German colonies Of the Fa-
cific and in South Africa are eualiy
firm for annexation with full SoTer-
eighty and without q mandate from the
league Of nations.
The main efforts today have been 10
reconcile these extremes and those TAX
ing part in tn. conferences were hope
cut tcnigh; that q middle ground would
be founded which would preserve the
American contrat!on. Early in tho day
General Sruits. representing the Brit
ish douinions' view against the man
date, and Colonel House. who is sup
porting the mandate. held lengthy
conference with view to reconsider
the differences.
