THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
1t Requires America as Wen as Eu.
rope TO Mind Its Own Business.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD - People
here fail to recognize the fact that the
Monroe Doctrine works both ways: that
r, that. as the editor OF the London
Daily Chronicle put it on March 4 last,
at must be remembered that the Mon
roc Doctrine said to Europe Hands off
America but to America II said Hands
Off Europe"
In the article on the Monroe Doctrine
in tho Encyclopedia Britannica the
last paragraph says that while 1t de-
clares that every portion OF the Amer
lean continent must be free from Euro
pean control. It is still coupled with the
converse principle that America takes no
part in European politics. as the dis
clalmer OF the American delegates 70

Rumania Now as Large as Italy.

Rumania energies from the war en-
larged in area ana in population. BY
the award of Bessarabia, confirmed
by the Allies In a treaty signed in
Paris on October IS. she gains terri
tory which makes her equal to Italy
in size, with q population Of more
than 100000.
No other active belligerent in the
war against Germany has varied SO
much in extent. Condemned by the
treaty of Bucharest to lose half of
her territory, she has not only re-
gained her previous domain but has
seen it successfully enlarged by the
addition Of Pennsylvania, Bukowina,
part Of the banat of Temesvar and,
now. Bessarabia.
This makes an area eight times as
large as Alsace-Lorraine with pop
ulation five times that of the restored
French provinces. Before the war
Rumania's area was $1,000 square
miles and her population 100000.
Now her area is 100000 square miles
and her population is more than
doubled.
This Latin section of the ancient
Roman Empire, commanding the
mouths Of the Danube and the rail-
road across the great Czernavoda
bfidge to the Black Sea, has thus OBJ
tolned an advantageous position on
the highway of commerce between
East and West. Not only does Ruma-
MIA get an outlet for her natural re-
sources but she promises to be bar
rier TO Teutonic designs on the Bal
kans and to Russian Bolsheyism.
Controlling a railroad from Jassy by
way Of Kishineff TO Odessa beyond
the Dniester, she will have In Con
stanza, on the more direct route to the
Black Sea, a formidable competitor
Of the Russian port. The great ware.
houses Of Braila and Galatz will again
be filled from her granarles and the
Rumanian oil fields. many Of which
are again IN operation, will find an
outlet TO the worlds commerce.
The fertile areas OF Bessarabia
added to those Of Pennsylvania and
Bukowina, should bring tremendous
wealth TO RumanIa. The wheat fields
Of these provinces are among the
largest on earth. More than SO per
cent. Of her cultiyable area Is de
voted to the growth Of cereals, pro.
portion only exceeded by Serbia
South Africa and, formerly. Russia
with such possibilities Of production
Rumania could feed all Of Europe
ana she should quickly regain her
former prosperity

Along With New Representative 1t
Looks for Post Office.

To THE New York HERALD: The
| hopes OF the business people and the
residents OF lnwood of obtaining new
post Office have been revived by the
election OF new Representative In the
Twenty Congress district.
In his campaign speeches in 1nwood
the recently elected Representative ad-
mltted tho need OF a new post office and
said that when he went to Washington
he would do everything in his power to
have the dream Of the people OF Inwood
realized
The new Representative will find on
investigation that site for a post Office
has been tentatively chosen on Sherman
avenue near 204th street. This selec-
ton was made some months ago When
building Will begin is n matter OF con-
lecture, but it Is understood that the
firm holding the contract for the cree
ton OF the building is at liberty to be-
gin operations whenever II feels dis
posed TO do so. 1t is also understood
that nothing Will be done until the price
of labor and materials comes down. and
until then Inwood will remain without
its much needed post office.
Just why il has been found necessary
10 delay so long the building Of n post
Office the people OF Inwood do not I'M
derstand. In spite Of the fact that it is
a rapidly growing part of tho city the
postal facilities have been allowed to re-
main far behind the times. At present
the postmen have to go to sub-station
down on washington Heights and bring
back their loads of mail on the subway,
thus losing much time. RESIDENT.

with the exception of one or two
periods Of unrest, enjoyed long years
Of prosperous peace.
Plans for the restoration of the old
Republic of Central America have
been proposed at various times in the
past half century but have always
failed on account of sectional differ
ences and the conflicting ambitions Of
rival political factions. The vote for
union in the recent congress shows
that the movement has gained some
ground. With the overthrow of Es-
TBADA CABRERA in Guatemala the most
lmplacable enemy of the plan was
eliminated. His successor, President
HERRERA, was elected on a platform
fayoring union, and his influence as
the ruler of the largest and most
populous of the republics should
strengthen the movement.
With two Of the prospective mem
bers Of the union outside the fold,
however, the success Of the cause is
still far from assured.

No United states Delegate or Rep
resentatlye 1T Geneva.

We congratulate President WILSON
on the decision he has apparently
reached, Notwithstanding persistent
reports to the contrary. to refrain
from sending an unofficial" Ameri-
can delegate or observer to the ses-
sion Of the League of Nations at Ge-
neya. This reserve is proper under
the circumstances. IT is delicate ana
deserving of praise.
1t is true that the session at
Geneva was called by none other than
President WILSON, but that function
was devolved upon him as a personal
compliment. His performance of the
duty prescribed by Article v Of the
Covenant written and adopted eigh-
teen months before the solemn refer
endum decided the question of par
ticipation by the United States, did
not in any way commit our Govern
ment. AR TAFT, or President Low
ELL, or Mr. WIcKEBsHAN or any other
citizen of our Republic might have
been designated TO summon the first
meeting of the Assembly and the first
meeting of the Council, and might
have done so without any closer i'm
plieation Of national responsibility
than is carried by mandate to any
outsider to pull the bellrope
But after all that has happened
since April %, 1919, and particularly
after the supreme authority had re-
corded its judgment by a seven mill
ion minority fortnight ago to-day,
any further attempt to involve this
Government in even a quasi-particlpa-
ton in the existing organization. by
means of a Presidential appointment
not contemplated by the Constitution
and not subject to confirmation by the
Senate. would have been unfortunate
in the extreme 1t would have looked
like bitter end defiance of the nations
will. 1t would have savored Of con-
tempt of the referendum.
The regular diplomatic representa-
tives of the United States abroad are
perfectly competent to keep the State
Department and the Executive fully
and accurately informed as to proceed
ings at Geneva, just as they do as to
all other matters of world Slgnif-
! canoe. The alert and discerning cor
respondents of tie American press
may be depended upon to transmit
across the ocean every fact OF politi.
cal. or International, or sentimental.
or even humorous interest for the
benefit of the American public. An
unofficial" delegate, or attendant, OF
observer officially commissioned tC
Geneva by the President or the Secre
tary Of State would serve no purpose
there except to act as n sort Of string
attached by the Administration to Q
vanished dream.
President WILSON has shown good
sense. Secretary Colby has shown
good sense. Colonel HOUSE, if he Is
still visiting the elimpses of the
League Of Nations moon. has shown
good sense.

WORK FOR MANY MEN.
A Dweller in the Country Interested
by Stories OF Unemployment.

TO THE New York HERALD l have
noticed recently many statements rela-
tive to the increase in unemployment.
In this section many crops have not
been gathered. or gathered so lato as TO
entail serious loss to the farmers, for
lack of help. and If We can judge by the
papers the Same situation prevails over
almost all OF the farming districts
throughout the United States. Also now
that the supply of coal seems so lin.
tied, many would be glad to use wood
but can get no one to cut IT,
Many OF the unemployed could find
work at fair wages and have comfort
able homes II they would work in the
country There should be. some solution
thought out TO remedy these evil situa-
tions. DAVID EVANS.
