PUBLIC WITNESSES A
NAVAL BATTLE.

Seldom in the history of any
Navy has it been possible for the
public Of any nation to witness
a nay N engagement. Such an OPP
portunity was afforded the citiz-
ems Of France on June 10, 1864,
when a battle between the Con-
federate ship Alabama and the
United States ship kearsage
took place off Cherbourg. The
Alabama was a british built ship
which was sold to the COnfedcracv
and fitted out as commerce
raid.r in the Azores. Under Cap
tain Raphael Sommes. she burnt
81 Union merchantmen and cap
tured many more. FINALLY she

haul. Before this was completed
Cap;r,n John A Winslow ar
rived off that port in the Union
Ship Kearsage. SemmeS had
every hing to lose and nothing
to gam by the battle. However,
the French being anxious to see
naval engagement told him that
the presence OF the Kearsage off
the port was a challenge which
no man OF honor could refuse
Yielding to public opinion. Sem
mes said that he would take his
ship out to fight on Sunday NOR

The Alabama sank before her
crew could be removed to the
Kearsage. The Deerhound help

fitting out the Confederate ships.

ECONOMIC HIGHL1GHTS.

The acidly polite debate re-
Gently carried on between the
United States and German gov
'ernments concerning the Monroe
Doctrine reveals that this tradi-
tional American policy is subject
to widely varying interpretations.
1t is also evident that Hitler is
giving the Doctrine an interpre-
tation which was never imagined
by President Monroe.
The Monroe Doctrine did not
come into existence as a long con-
sidered. carefully thought-out
statement of u. s. policy. Rather,
t was swiftly conceived to meet
a condition which. in 1928. men
aced the sovereignty of this ma
ton. At that time the three great
European states Of Russia. Prus-
sia. and Austria had formed a
"holv alliance to crush a revo-
luton in Spain. and were casting
'covetous glances on Spain's many
possessions in the Wetern Hemi-
sphere. In addition. Russia, which
then owned Alaska. was attempt
ing to dominate the Northwes-
tern coast OF this continent in the
interest OF her merchant ships. So
President Monroe issued an off,
cial warning in which he said that
Americas are "henceforth not to
be Considered as subjects of fu.
ture colonization by any Euro
pean powers. In other words,
the status quo was to be main
tanned so far as Europe has con-

GREATER attention is now be-

There are three ways in which
plants Of all kinds can be financed
for defense construction. First is a

the Defense Commission and the
Army and Navy.
Another method is through the

Then. OF course, there are direct
loans from REC. on a basis similar
to those of commercial banks.

this will eventually prove more pow

cerned. Afterwards, the policy
which had been declared to meet
the emergency of the moment,
became a convenient instrument
for protecting American inter-
ests in subsequent rises. We in
voked it to drive the French from
Mexico after the Civil War, to
give the L. s. absolute instead of
divided control over the Panama
Canal, and to force England to
come to terms when a border
fight arose between Venezuela
and British Guiana.
Today it is obvious that the
Doctrine is to be used to provide
legal grounds for preventing the
Axis powers from seizing New
World possessions belonging to
the democratic Nations. Germany
has met this challenge by assert
ing that the Doctrine must work
two ways if others are expected
to observe it-that, in brief, the
U. S. must stop interfering with
European affairs if Europe is to
keep out of the Americas. And
here is where the vast difference
of Interpretation appears. For the
Monroe Doctrine, as we have al
ways understood and applied it.
deals only with physical transfers
of territory, not with political ac-
tivity. We have never used it to
deny a European power the right
to carry on political or diplomatic
work in our sphere of influence
Hitler seems to want to interpret
! the Doctrine to include moral
suasion" no less than military
force.
In addition, high German Off
cials have intimated that they
deem it proper to apply a Monroe
Doctrine of their own to Central
Europe. They argue they have as
much right to do this as we have
to apply the original Doctrine
throughout the Americas. And
again, there is a great difference
in Interpretation. For we have
not used the Doctrine as an ex-
rcuse for imperial expansion and
geographical aggression.We have
not believed that it gave us the
right to enslave and oppress other
peoples. TO the contrary. we
argue. we have used it only to
protect weaker nations from the
; possible oppression OF potential
conqucrors.
The President said on Iulv 9TH
, that Europe and Asia should ap-
ply the principles Of the Monroe
Doctrine as a means Of reaching
agreement on the disposition OF
possessions Of the conquered
powers-that all should get to-
gether and settle the attendant
problems. rather than allow them
to be decided by the victor. That
looks now like an academic opin-
ion, which will find no favor
whatsoever among the swagger-
ing Axis powers.
