For period covering about two

necessity Of passengers paying the

ROOSEVELT GRAB"
!. OF SPOTLIGHT SEEN
Fixing Walker Hearing on
Day OF Hoover Acceptance
Address Causes Talk.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington talks, wholly with smiles,
about the identity of the date set by
President Hoover for his acceptance
speech next Thursday with the date
Gov. Roosevelt has subsequently set for
his hearing of Mayor Walker of New
York City. The theory is that Gov.
Roosevelt'S hearing Of the mayor, and
the mayors wise cracks and dramatic
poses. will so fill the newspapers the
following day as to overshadow Mr..
HOover's acceptance speech.
The further theory Of the cynical is
that Gov. Roosevelt was not uncon-
scious of this when he fixed the day
for the mayors hearing II SO, 1t would
be a duplicate OF an effective r1aneuver
made by the Governors fifth cousin,
Theodore Roosevelt, when he was Presi-
dent, and would tend to show that the
Governor has the same sense Of politics
and OF the dramatic as his distin-
guished namesake.
Hughes, now Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court, then Governor of New
York, was to make a speech on the
issues Of the day, In response 10 a
movement by his friends to put him
forward for the Republican presidential
nomination. There was widespread
public anticipation about what Mr.,
Hughes would say. The speech was to
be at 8 o'clock.
Sends Message to Congress.
At S o'clock that afternoon, after eve
ming papers had gone to press. Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent to Congress the
most sensational message he ever wrote.
Next day. when newspaper readers
looked on the first page for Hughes
speech, they found not that but Presi-
dent Roosevelt's violent phrases about
wealthy malefactors." To find any
thing about Hughes speech, readers
were obliged to seek among the ad-
vertiSementS on back pages. Since
Roosevelt's message to Congress had
suspicion that his timing of publica-
ton of it included an intention to
blanket Mr.. Hughes. Certainly 1t had
that effect, snd the movement to nomi-
nate Hughes evaporated
That sort of impish maneuver is re-
garded by poll icians as quite within
The rules OF the game. Since 1919,
however, the radio has come. President
Hoover's speech Thursday night will be
heard by probably the largest radio
audience that ever listened to q human
voice.
Republicans speak numorously about
the competition for newspaper tpace
between the President. and on the
other hand, Gov. Roosevelt and Mayor
Walker. Republicans. however, speak
seriously about another aspect of the
Presidents acceptance speech. Repub.
licans expect that Mr.. Hoovers speech
will be what acceptance speeches in
both parties have always been,
formal, complete and carefully made
statement Of the candidates personal
position on the issues of the campaign.

Republicans raise a query about Gov.
Roosevelt's declared intention of not

MONROE DOCTRINE
CALLED DEFENSIVE
Prof. Charles c. TansiH De-
nies German Plan Of Ag-
qreSsion in Caribbean.

The Monroe Doctrine is based upon a
policy of self-defense ON the part OF
the United States and not upon altru-
istic motives, Prof. Charles c. Tansill
of American University. told the His
panic American Conference at George
Washington University today
He said repeated refusals Of the
United States to allow the Monroe
Doctrine to be translated into Pan
American doctrine are proof of this as
sertion.
From 1871 on, Dr. Tansill said. Ger
many was the country mainly feared
by the United States In relation to the
Monroe doctrine. He attacked the ira
dition" which he said persists in the
United States to this day that Ger
many tried to sneak into the Carib-
bean" by acquiring the Danish West
Indies.
After careful search of the archives
in the German and Danish foreign
offices, 1 am prepared TO assert that
there is no truth in this he declared.
American intervention In the Caribbean
in 1856 was largely motivated by
fear of German encroachment he said.
Dr. Tansiu traced the application OF
the Monroe doctrine through various
presidential administrations from the
time of its adoption to the present.
