MONROE DOCTRINE HELD
FLEXIBLE TO SERVE u. S,
Value to Protection of Latin American
Nations Determined by Its Advan-
tage to United States.

the only difference was that one was
near and one far" In other words,
it was not a humanitarian complex
but hard-headed realization of the
security and interests of Great Brit
ain that decided her conduct in both
instances. The same thing is hap
pening now. Manchukuo did not
threaten the British Empire, but Mus
solini's grandiose African scheme
would-so the British lion, which
passively witnessed the despoilation
Of China, and the failure of the
League of Nations to prevent 1t, is
up in fighting mood today, ready
to defend the prestige of the League
and to make Ethiopia safe for
democracy"
Rules for Each Case.
Exactly the same parallel could be
applied to the position of the United
States in reference to Latin American
independence. The degree to which
Britain will support the League of Ma
tions as a guardian of international
peace is just as much determined by
the safety and interests of Britain, as
the degree to which the United States
will support the Monroe Doctrine is
determined by the safety and interests
of the United States. In both cases,
it is not idealism, or even dogmatism,
but realistic pragmatism which lays
down the rule-or the rules, one for
each emergency.
That is why the existence Of the
Monroe Doctrine never was safeguard
of Latin American independence ex-
cept when the interests of the United
States were involved, and never will
be otherwise in the future. And that,
also, is why the present events in
Africa should not disturb the peace of
romantic ''Monroeists," for, if an at
tack were launched in the near future
against Latin American independence,
the attitude of the United States would
be determined, once more, not by the
Monroe Doctrine but by its own ma
terial interests.
Still Applicable.
And 1t is plain to any student of
international affairs that the United
States would be just as much affected
by, and therefore just as much inter-
ested in preventing, the introduction by
force of European dominance in Latin
America as it was in 1923. AS a mat
ter of fact, it should be much more so
today, when the Panama Canal is the
key to its military defense, when its
commercial interests are incomparably
larger, and when the political dis
advantages of large neighboring Euro
pean colonies would be enhanced, po-
tentially, by the facilities of modern
warfare.
So, Monroe Doctrine or no Monroe
Doctrine, if the emergency ever arose,
the United States could not view any
interposition for the purpose Of op-
pressing" the Latin American coun-
tries 'or controlling in any other man
ner their destiny, by any European
power, in any other light than as the
manifestation of an unfriendly dis
position toward the United States"
exactly as when these utterances were
originally made, on December 2, 1923.
The only difference, If any, is that
today. due to the shortening Of dis
tances by modern communications and
the progress Of military science, this
would cover a much larger part Of
Latin America than 1t did In the first
decades Of the Monroe Doctrine.

audience, and talks to that level. His
running fire of boiSterous humor, sa-
tire. inconsequential stories of the
'old days down on the farm: his
ability to make half truths sound like
whole truths and his gift for over
simplifcation of issues are his
weapons.
Where Borah Gets Strength.
Senator Borah's greatest strength
lies among the simple folk; the farm
ers on the back forties. the labor
unions, dwellers in mountain canyons
or hidden oases in the deserts. 1t is
a deep and instructive feeling. not par
ticularly founded on reason, for while
he has always been liberal. he has
been far from championing many of
the causes which from time to time
have been popular with this class.
Partly it is the hypnotic power of
remarkable personality; partly the
charm of magnificent voice. In his
campaign speeches Mr.. Borah never
talks down" to his audience. Though
his listeners be of the least educated
class of the community, he discusses
the great issues OF the day in Ian
guage and diction as he would to the
most cultured audience. And his fol-
lowers are proud their self-esteem is
f1attered. Our Bill is taking US
into his confidence on this matter"
Backed by Others, Too.
OF course, Mr.. Borah also has sup
porters among the intellectuals. They
may quarrel with every item of his
program and his philosophy; fire.
quently they are reused to anger: yet
they follow him. Partly this Is be-
cause of their admiration of his in
tellect and his grasp of public ques-
tions; partly because they realize that
any one sent to the Senate to replace
him would Immediately take Idaho
off the front pages of the world. 1t
is good advertising to keep him there;
and there is a lot of naive satisfac-
tion to be gained from personal ac-
quaintance with such a world figure.
Mr.. Borah at home is the most friend
ly of men, and recognizes an astound-
ing number Of persons when he meets
them on the street-or, If he fails to
recognize them he carefully con-
ceals 1t.
There is another factor. Although
he has never been the "errand boy"
type of statesman, Mr.. Borah never Is
too busy to carry out mission with
the departments for one Of his con-
stituents, and his power in Washing
ton is such that he succeeds where
others fail.

Self Sacrifice OF
Sister Recalled
By MAUDE WADDELL

This is the true story of a very
poor elderly lady of long ago who
lost self in love. Two sisters,
Miss B. and Miss SaIlie B. lived
in their humble little country
home in Orange county, North
Carolina, an old and distinguish
ed county where today in the
courthouse at the county seat,
Hillsboro, the same clock looks
out from the tower and keeps
perfect time which was given to
the city in colonial days by King
George III of England.
In fact the last time | came
through on a Greyhound bus for
New York l looked at the clock
and it was correct to the second.
Near this place the two sisters
lived. Their impoverished cir
cumstances grew worse and the
elder of the two, Miss B., became
blind and was the object of ten
derest love and constant personal
VI MISS OdlllSs
She loved her sister with a self
less devotion. Finally the time
arrived when the two could no
longer maintain themselves and
faced what to that social strata
in that section of the country
was the last dreg of humiliation
and dread. This was to go to the
aims house, known as the poor
house" Also this was long ago
before the county homes were
the beautiful places which North
Carolina has now made them,
with steam heat, all modern con-
veniences and many beautifica-
tions.
At this iuncture in the story a
nephew of the two sisters, the
only possible relative who could
give them even partial support
came forward and asked that
"Miss Sallie" come and live at
his home saying that he could
care for one but not for both of
the sisters. 1t became a crisis
but "Miss Sallie" said mo" that
under no circumstances would
she leave her sister and if her
sister had to go to the poor
house" she would go too. They !
went together and facing the
seeming ignominy and the bod
