cording TO my historians. I
suspect. after reading Brother
Lippmann's version, that there
was some pretty nasty anti
British feeling under the kidding
of these Snoozers, else why did
they distort the facts and put a
nice man like Brother Lippmann
TO all the bother of correction
many years later?
THE Monroe Doctrine, the dual
Il principle of United States
foreign policy, the essence of
which is no colonization and no
intervention by European states
in the Americas. takes its name
from James Monroe, president
when the doctrine was enunci-
ated.
But actually ii was largely
the idea of John Quincy Adams,
secretary of state under Monroe
and afterward president. and
sprang out of certain Spanish
problems and Russian and Eng
lish advances on our Pacific side.
I am sure my historians must
have been cock-eyed when they
reported the European nations.

gests that il was the fact that
Great Britain was behind the

distorted the French evacuation

POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

American money. but under
conditions giving the United
States no privilege of their use
beyond six months after the
close of the war-and this was
found TO be the case-certainly
the responsibility for that state
of affairs clearly rests on the
American officials responsible
for such poor business.
There was no criticism of the
British implied in the report to
the effect that American oil re-
serves were being depleted
while British reserves were not
being drawn on in full capacity.
Strictly speaking. this was no
criticism. but a statement of
fact. and of a condition that
ought TO be changed if possible.
SENATOR BREWSTER of
~ Maine, one of the five sena-
tors. summed the whole thing
up accurately When ne SAID IN
an interview this week:
THE British irritation at our
discussion is difficult to under
stand, because our criticism has
been directed not at the British
for looking out for themselves,
but at the failures of our own
government To look after Amer
lean interests, as q result of our
inadequate representation on
the diplomatic front and In the
other civilian agencies now ac-
tive in the foreign fields.
THE British got us all wrong
we think they are doing a
magnificent job"
Perhaps if somebody cabled
that TO London it might stop a
bad case of British filters in the
House Of Commons.
