GRAVE ERRORS IN TENT.

The voice Of Mr.. Taft was only one
Of tho voices Of that type, speaking
for the great financial interests that
were backing the propaganda support
ing the league. Their organizations
and paid agents were working every
where. Every State was organized,
almost every county. And yet before
the discussion had proceeded twenty
days grave errors were discovered
which the authors of the document
were compelled to confess. We show
ed that as originally brought to us the
II caty would have wiped out the
Monroe doctrine. In reply we were told
that the Monroe doctrine had not been
injured all the world. Then tho authors
OF the treaty returned to Versailles
and while still protesting that the
Monroe doctrine had not been injur-
cd they wrote into the treaty a-ncw
Article XXI, declaring that tho Mon
roe doctrine shall not be affected,
thus confcsSing that We were entire
~ correct i'll our charge.
Yet the provision that was in
serted for the protection Of the Mon
roc doctrine did not really protect it.
II defined it rs g'onal understand
ing which WAS exactly what Lord Sal
i"bury held it to be in the VencZuc.a
case.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1920-02-14

FENlAED FOR MONROE DOCTRINE
Later we learned from the Eng
lish cNpositors of the covenant that
il ever disagreement should arise as
to Interpretation Of the Monroe doe
trine the league would settle the diff
crcnccS. That is Il tribunal OF seven
aliens would make the decision as to
n doctrine that has been exclusively
an American affair throughout it's OK
istence.
Thus we would have no power
Whatever to enforce our doctrine and
q doctrine that you cannot enforce
amounts to no moro than did the
tears Of the Chinese delegates at Yer
$nillcs, begging for the protection of
Their country from the outside Of the
council chamber, while Japan r>tu-
ed her sword on the inside; il
amounts to no more than did the
prayers Of the Egyptians for their
country's salvation when they were
thrown into Jail for daring to utter
those prayers.
The grand circus went on its tour
and every performer, from clown to
ringmaSter. announced that any na
ton was at liberty to withdraw at its
pleasure. We wdrc denounced for
claiming anything clst: yet. I"tcr
they admitted that we had been
right by putting in the two-ycar with
drawal clause
