Hands Of the Monroe Doctrine

The council Of the League Of Nations displayed
excellent judgment in refusing the request of Costa
Rica that II fix a definition Of our Monroe Doctrine.
ls suggestion that the countries Of the western con-
tincnt fix their own Interpretation o. that famous pol
icy maintains the status quo and leaves the United
states the privilege and duty of protecting the western
hemisphere against European aggression. Any defini-
tion by the league council would have resulted in a
maze of conflicting interpretations which could not fail
70 react to the disadvantage q the United States and
the Latin-Amer ican countries.
Most Of the protests against the Monroe Doctrine
emanate from European sources or are inaugurated by
European influences. For almost a century European
eSploiters have been handicapped BY the vigiIantc Of
the United States. They have sought through every
possible avenue ~ discrcdit the policy; 70 bring press
ue from European a. well as Latin-American nations
20 bear in their efforts 20 induce the United States to
back down" The wouid-be exploiters have found
ready sympathy among certain political elements in
hut those conservatives who oppose the
Monroe Doctrine are far from numerous.
The effort 70 inject the Monroe Doctrine into the
deliberations cf the League Of Nations was doubtless
inaugurated By the same sinister influences that have
sought other avenues 70 effect modification Of the
policy. The appeal 70 the league council had an the
earmarks OF former attempts. the Costa Rica repre-
several years have been a disturbing factor in Central
American politics.
Among the cen. c~rvative elements Of ~Latin-Amcrica.
representing the great majority or property owners,
the Monroe Doctrine is looked upon as a safeguard
that must BE- maintained. They realize that any modi-
fication Of the policy would be construed as a signal
for the political adventurers and European exploiters
70 carry out their designs. but SO long as the Monroe
Doctrine remains in effect it will serve as a deterrant
70 those whose ambition il is to loot those Latin-Amcr-
lean republics incapable Of defending themselves.

II cannot agree with those who see dark clouds ahead
on the horizon Of the American labor movement. On
the contrary, I ~prophesy the increasing Importance II
organized labor in this country. ] am convinced that
trade unionism is bound to acquire a far greater share
in determining the economic policies or industry. The
time has arrived for labor to contribute to the framing
Of economic policy and to assume responsibility, with
the employer, for its successful application.
Necessarily the whole present relationship of or
ganized abor TO industry must change. Instead Of a
t~ug-of-war VIC shall have a joint venture, instead Of
conflict we shall have cooperation.
In place OF the old relation Of master and servant
the new day demands a partnership between corporate
industry and organized labor. You may say this is a
Utopian dream. I think It Is real I see only two ma
jor obstacles to its ealization-obstacIe which can be
overcome. The first is the labor injunction. One does
not require a diploma from the school OF prophecy to
see that in the long run the injunction cannot stop the
organization or labor. Organization springs from the
most profound needs or human nature. You can't de-
stroy the desire to organize; you can only balk it for
a time But just as surely ~ mankind has been march
ing slowly but irresistibly toward the goal Of political
democracy. just as surely and just as irresistibly arc
the workers going ahead to win for themselves greater
rights in business and industry.
What Is the effect Of the injunction? ! am still
looking at 1t from the point Of view Of the employer.
It's effect is just TO postpone the formation of an ade-
quate labor organization. II II keeping the labor move
ment in its fighting period; it is preventing the labor
movement from coming to full maturity and assuming
the tasks and responsibilities for which It Is pre-emi-
nentIy fitted.
Cooperation is n hollow word as long as the threat
OF the injunction hangs over lawful unionization. The
lamb and the lion can never cooperate. The lamb
may be docile or the lion generous but cooperation is
given only TO equals. To match the huge aggregates
Of modern capital the wage-earner must be organized
before he ~ ready TO give cooperation to his employer.
