BUENOS AIRES, February o.
Caustic but respectful comment that
if the Monroe Doctrine is excellent in
hory it is functioning badly inn prac-
tice was made in the American
press today in editorials discussing
Secretary Stimsons address in New
York Friday night on United States
foreign policy.
La Nacion, BuenoS Aires daily, said
that no one would ever doubt that the
action of the illustrious President,
James Monroe, was directed against
the holy alliance and in protection of
the young Latin-American republics.

But, the paper said, THE 1923 for
mula cannot be adjusted to 1881 needs.
Politics which then were restricted to
Europe now are worldwide One by one
the thrones against which Monroe di-
rected his anathema have fallen, and
none OF them is surviving today. How
then, can such a weapon still be used
without injuring the civilizations from
which we have inherited so richly?"
Excelsior at Mexico City, qucA,ng
Secretary Stimson that the Monroe
Doctrine is pronouncement against
Europe and not against Latin America,
said:
while the White House now de-
clares that the doctrine is against Eu-
rope, history plainly shows that it has
been one of the international instru-
ments applied by the United States
against Latin-America
Reason for Stunning League.
The paper proceeded to say that the
viewpoint of well acquainted persons"
was that MeXico's reason for never hav-

of the treaty of Versailles which
recognized the Monroe Doctrine.

Keep Marines There, Chief
Asks as House Gets
13 Millions Cost.

BY the Associated Press.
Marines should be kept in Nicaragua,
IN the view of the corps commandant,
as long as American officers are in
charge of that country's national guard
because of the danger of mutiny.
ut would not do to take all the
Marines away" Maj. Gen. Ben H.
Fuller told the House Appropriations
Committee during hearings on the
Navy supply bill, reported today, "leav-
ing American officers in charge of those
Indians, because they would be very
likely to mutiny and chase the Amer
lean officers out"
The cost to this country to date Of
the recent Marine foreign occupations
China, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo and
Haiti - was set by the quartermaSter
general, Brig. Gen. Hugh Matthews, at
$13,456,223.
Millions Are Itemized.
The expense of keeping the Marines
in China, over the cost had the forces
been at home, was $4,5l4,352; in
Nicaragua, $5,5l7,S32; in Santo Do
mingo, 81 ,231491, and in Haiti, ST.
192,553. Supervision Of the 1890
Nicaraguan election entailed the ex-
penditure of Sl84,340. The larger figure
covers expenses in Santo Domingo,
Haiti and Nicaragua since July l, 1919,
and in China since February, 1927.
The Santo Domingo expense included
maintenance until August Of 1924.
Gen. Fuller indicated more difficulties
had been found in Nicaragua than any
of the other countries. He pointed out
that in the. last year six Marines
had been killed and two wounded there.
He did not include the eight killed and
two wounded there recently. At present,
the connandant said, there are IS Off
GERS and 979 enlisted men in the coun-
try.
1.-The present number of Marines"
he testified, lis about the least number
that should be kept there to support the
Nicaraguan guard or the national guard,
with American officers in charge of the
national guard. They must have
American backing as support and rs
q reserve"
Question of Policy.
The commandment added that al
though the Nicaraguan National Guard
probably could be depended upon to
keep peace in the country, withdrawal
of Marines lis question OF policy of
the State Department
There are plenty of men in Mica
ragua who would be willing to take the
Job of general or colonel, but they
would not necessarily have the ability
to take those jobs and keep the ma
tional guard in the same state of eff
ficiency in which it is now" he ex-
planned.
"It takes a good while to make
good soldier out of anybody, and 1t
takes much longer to make one out Of
Nicaraguan," he replied.

BUFFALO, February 9 (N.A.N.A.).-
A singing blast. which blew all night
Saturday and all day Sunday, biting
through the heaviest clothing and chill
ing to the bone, made the 33-hour vigil
of the II fishermen rescued from the
ice on Lake Erie yesterday one of almost
unbelievable suffering.
Huddled together behind a make
shift windbreak, eating the fish they
had caught and even their bait. with
hopes alternately raised and lowered
and looking landward. always landward.
for the help that finally came, they
mustered all of their energy to fight
off cold and hunger.
Buffeted about during the night and
drifting helplessly, with only the shore
lights as beacons of reinsurance, each
of the II told story of suffering while
hurrying shoreward across the ice after
being taken from the Coast Guard boats.
Boy Survives Ordeal.
One of the first to set foot on the
main body of ice and eventually upon
safe ground was little Elmer Shriver,
9-year-old schoolboy. who was trapped
on the ice. with his father, Charles
Shriver, 40, of Orchard Park Junction,
Lackawanna. Elmer was the only
juvenile in the party on the ice.
happy smile lighted up his wan and
drawn freckled face when he reached
safety. His gratitude was too great to
permit him to say much.
Jaw, 1 had lot of fun!" he said
bravely. when first questioned, but his
expression of relief so obvious when
he landed safely after an hours hectic
boat ride through the slush and ice,
belied his words. He was badly fright
ened boy.
AS he started across the ice with his
father he gave some details of the
fun" he had had.

said 1T was dark, and I was fright
ened but knew that help would come.
Daddy has been on three other foes
and has always come through all right,

time. But it didn't feel so good, just

Daddy and I boxed a few rounds one
