THE MODERN MONROE DOC.
TRINE.

The Monroe Doctrine is approach
ing it's centenary In view of the i'm
portant part it has played in the his
tory OF the United States a special
celebration of this hundredth ami
versary has been proposed. John A.
Stewart OF the Sulgrave Institute
urges that part of any program
honoring the Monroe Doctrine ought
20 be the PRONUNCIATION Of a modern
version OF 1t, adapted to the new
conditions which have come To exist
on the Western Hemisphere.
When the Monroe Doctrine was first
declared. the nations Of South Amer
'iea were in a chaotic state Of de-
velopment and might easily have fall
en- prey to the selfish designs OF Old
World powers Even the United States
was on a ia" from stable footing. Tn
preJudiced judges admi, that Ameri-
can isolation rather than strength

maintained the Monroe Doctrine up
To the close OF the Civil war. After
the the United States was better
able To make good its own warning
To the other nations.
Now the United States is the most
powerful nation on the American con-
tinents, but she is not the only nation
or strength and pride. The southern
republics have largely achieved sta
bility in government, integrity. peace
ful development and beneiicent pur-
poses.
The modern version of the Mon
roe Doctrine suggesied by Mr.. Stew
arr acknowledges that fact i'm these
words:
Ihc frec nations OF North and
south America are sovereign on this
continent, their fiat is law upon the
SUBJECTS upon which they cOnfinc their
JOINT interposltion. They harbor no
thought OF aggression against the rest
Of the world, desiring only 10 he per-
mitted to progress in the arts and
customs and activities of peace. and

and an extensive program of lectures
has been announced.
The preliminary program contains
a list of papers and discussions by
doctors on subjects ranging from

There will also be a program Of
entertainment for the visitors at

A MIsCHIEyOUs TAX.

The export tax which the allies
seek to impose on Germany for more
than generation is mischievous in
many ways. German howls may be
disregarded and German propaganda
on this subject discounted, as usual
but an honest American is forced to
admit that. considered from the
standpoint OF international welfare, it
seems indefensible.
This IL per cent tax is probably
calculated less to provide the allies
with additional revenue, welcome as
that would he, than to keep down
German prosperity to the lowest pos
sible level. 1t is literally a tax on
German industry. The harder Ger
many works and the more she pro-
duces, the more she must pay.
This particular form OF reparation
Is said to have been devised by
France, and to have been agreed to
by Lloyd George because it fitted into
British commercial plans. The Brit
ish will be glad to see the Germans
handicapped thus i'm the race for
world markets The French want the
money. and they want to hinder Ger
man industrial and commercial re-
vival as means of curbing German
national power. In fact, the latter
motive may be the ronger one
France might nc willing TO give up all
hope OF reparation if she were as
sured # -he Industrial as well as mill
tary impotence OF Germany.
This is folly. Those allied states
men are playing politics, Aattering the
prejudice and cupidity Of a short
sighted populace in order 10 hold
their power little longer, instead
OF admitting the truth which they
surely recognize in their sincere and
logical moments.
The world OF finance. industry and
commerce. is one. II stands or falls
together. Lasting prosperity is not
national but international. and will
grow more so hereafter. Nations will
grow rich not by killing off each 9TH
ers' trade, but by trading with each
other. Any barrier raised to dam or
deaden trade Is sure in the end to in
turs even the nation erecting 1t.
