FAvoRs MONROE DOCTRINE.
Porto Riean Tours South America in
Behalf Of United States.

By Associated Press.
Buenos Aires. April 14.-Martin
Travieso, member OF the Porto
Rican Senate and who has temporar-
ily served ns governor OF that island.
has been making tour Of South
America and endcavoring to allay
suspicious OF Latin Americans con-
cerning the Monroe doctrine.
Senator Travieso appealed to Am
ericans In South America. In an ad-
dress befode the American Club here.
to use their best efforts to prove to
citizens OF South American countries
that the Monroe doctrine was not the
expression OF an imperialistic policy
on the part of the United States.
Mr. Travieso said that the conduct
OF tho United States toward Cuba
and Porto Rico were examples that
could be cited to show that the
United States had no imperialistic
aims.
Speaking as Latin American, he
declared that 1t was very important
TO allay the unfounded suspicious
of many Latin Americans that the
motives OF the United States in
maintaining the Monroe doctrine
were not to protect Latin American
countries from European interfer-
ence, but rather to obtain political
control OF them which would be 10
the benefit of the United States COM
mercially. He declared that his
country was not only far more in
dependent than any Of the states OF
the union but was virtually an in
dependent state as far as the admin
istration of its own affairs were con-
cerned.
perhaps In the future" he said,
the United States may constitute
us into a sovereign people. but that
is problem which will have to be
resolved by future generations. We
enjoy today all the rights and liber-
ties OF the freest people of the world
ana we have no reason for COM
piaint or protest in our present stu
ation."

Louisville. KY. May 6.--American

Japanese and send exhibition ships
abroad to display American goods In
foreign ports. The idea has been
proposed to the American business
men by II. G. Mclean, assistant
foreign traffic manager Of the South
ern Railway system. who has head
quarters here. Mr.. Mclean has
suggested that shipping board yes
sells be fitted out as exhibition ships
to carry American products to new
markets and thus meet the compe-
ttion Of the British and Japanese
manufacturers.
Mr.. Mclean has called the atten-
ton OF various commercial organi-
cations to the fact that Japan as
we'll as Great Britain has adopted
this plan in herArace for the worlds
trade and that Japanese ships will be
sent around the world carrying ex-

to provide ample stocks for domestic
