HARDING DEFENDS
MONROE DOCTRINE
United States Willing to Fight to Pro-
teCt South American Republics
from Tyranny.

NEW YORK, April 2O.-Amid the
roar Of cannon and the plaudits of a
distinguished gathering President Hard
ine. at the bronze equestrian statue of
Simon Bolivar unveiled yesterday in
Central park, proclaimed anew the fun
damentals of the Monroe Doctrine and
cited the desirabilitv of standing firmly
together for service, both to the new
and the old world.
He said in part:
The doctrine proclaimed under Mon
roe. which ever since has been jealousy
guarded as Il fundamental of our own
Republic, maintained that these CONT
nents should not again be regarded as
fields for the colonial enterprises OF old
There have been times when the
meaning OF Monroeism was misundcr.
stood by some. perverted by Others and
made the subject of distOrting propa-
ganda by those who saw in it an OBJ
starle TO the realization OF their own
ambitions. Some have sought to make
our adhesion To this doctrine, JUSTIN
cation for prejudice against the United
States.
They have falsely charged that we
sought to hold the nations OF the old
world at arms length, III order that we
might mOnopolize the privilege OF eX-
rloitation for ourselves. Others have
protested that the doctrine would never
be enforced if to enforce it should in
yolve us in actual hostilities.
The history of the generations since
that doctrine was proclaimed has proved
that we never intended it selfshly; that
we had no dream of exploitation. On
the other side. the history of the last
decade certainly must have convinced
all the world that we stand willing to
tight. if necessary, to protect these con-
tincnts, these sturdy young Democra-
cies. from oppression and tyranny"

THE tidal wave which swept down

ming so strongly in the campaign of
1876 that Rutherford b. Hayes himself
never was confident of his success.
Nor was the country surprised to read
in the headlines the morning after cleo

The Republican national headquar-

Tilden was elected on the face of

His election indeed rested on the same
