u. S. Attitude
Made Clear
Non-Recognition OF
Jopon Aims. Plan

WASHINGTON - Administra
ton officials indicated today thai
the United States would continu,
its policy of non-reoognition OF
Japan's attempts TO set up a so.
called Monroe Doctrine for the far
east.
Government spokes said
they they saw nothing inconsistent
in this attitude. despite this gov.
ernment's demands for strict en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine
in this hemisphere and President
Roosevelt's proposal that postwar
territorial adjustments in Asia and
Europe be achieved by continental
consultation.
Before leaving Hyde Park yes
terday. Mr.. Roosevelt sought TO
clear up what he considered mis-
Interpretation of his statements
on the Monroe doctrine during the
past few days and emphasized the
difference between Monroe doc
trines under the name only and
the Monroe doctrine as we know
ii in this hemisphere.
Through his secretary, stephen
T. Early. the president left no
doubt that he was completely in
harmony with Secretary Of State
Cordell Hulfs denunciation OF at
tempts similar to those Of Japan
to sci up a Monroe doctrine for
Asia"
The misinterpretation cam
from a statement Saturday by
Early who said the president be-
lieves that the countries of Europe
and Asia should settle European
and Asiatic problems, respectively.
by comforting and that decisions
should be made by all the partici-
pating and affected countries.
Publication of those views led
TO belief in some quarters that Mr..
Roosevelt was approving Japan's
proposed plan for an Asiatic Mon
roe doctrine. but Early dispelled
them with an elaboration OF what,
he said. the president had meant to
convey.
