Says u. s. tJsurps
Right to Interpret
The Monroe Doctrine

Rhilodelphiay Dec ls--CommenlOfns
ton Of the Tooth anniversary Of the
Monroe doctrine was continued here
tonight when diplomatic representa-
countries delivered addresses at D
meeting OF the American Academy
Of Poltticaf and Social Science. Sec
rotary OF. State Hughes opened the
centennial observance here last night
when he spoke ON the Monroe doc
trine under the Joint auspices Of the
American Academy and the Phila-
delphia Forum.
Those who spoke tonight included
Jncuho Varela, Uruguayan minister
70 1.-The United States; DR.. Ricardo ].
Alfaro, minister from Panama; SAL
yador Cordoxa, minister from Hon.
Brown OF Princeton University.
DR.. Alfaro said the Monroe doctrine
has redounded to the benefit of the
Latin American nations. defending
them from those possibilities that en-.
danger their independent life.
Senior Cordova declared that with
out the Monroe doctrine the national
territory Of Honduras imibht have
been placed under foreign nag.
The United States has no valid
reason or right to Jarrogate to itself
the sole Interpretation Of the Monroe
doctrine, said Prof. Philip Marshall
Brown. "This doctrine Is essentially
q Pan-American principle that con-
Germs all the nations OF this hemis-
phere alike" he said. "The United
States may at times be constrained
in an acute emergency to take the
lead in the defence Of this principle,
but 1t cannot rightfully claim 1t as
private property.
"The other nations Of the Ameri-
con continents properly resent such
statements as Secretary Hughes un-
fortunately has seen At to quote with
approval from President Wilson:
THAT the Monroe doctrine was pro-
claimed by the United States on her
own authority. It always has been
maintained and always will be main
tanned upon her own responsibility"
From the Latin-American point
of view there is no bound reason
why the United States should claim
1t as private national policy.
There fs no use denying that the
recent Pan. American conference In
Santiago served in marked way
to increase distrust and hostility be-
cause Of this insistence on the part
OF the United States that It could
not permit the formulation of the
Monroe doctrine az Pan American
doctrine TO which all of these nations
could cheerfully subscribe on a basis
OF mutual equality and friendly con.
fidence. The results or this policy
have been 1amentable The possible
'ty OF a genuine understanding and
sympathy with these nations Is be-
coming increasingly difficult"
