NOME. ALASKA, FEBRUARY 3. 1915.
MEXICO AND THE MONHOE
DOCTRINE.
I " lib llbHigilllul V lib flea 11 the
li.igk late ot Mexico suggests inllliile
possibilities «>i future trouble, even
< on lilt t, for these l nited States, and
when Kurope is once again free to
deal with the issues involved, these
possibilities may harden into fact. Foi
it is not to be imuKuined that the
triumph id aii} one ul the man> con
tending chiefs . an bring a permanent
peace to that War disu acted land Tile
tact ions have grow n so numerous ann
aspiring chief tans are so many that it
is a moral certainty that, as in Cuba,
nothing save the Intervention of a dis
interested power could establish a
regime worthy of respect and able to
safeguard tin rights < f aliens Not
onh i s it manifest that the Tinted
States is alone powerful enough to d*»
the work, tint it is also her Imperative
ditty, under the Monroe Doctrine, to
do so.
We pacified t'uhn and withdrew our
troops as soon as the task was ac
complished; we took the first step
along the same line in Mexico, hut
wore unwilling or afraid to take tin
second And during all the long per
iod when we we trying the innocuous
measure of "watchful waiting." nu
merous lives were sacrificed: enter
prises were ruined; and foreigners of
every race were compelled to seek
safety in flight from the bandit armies
roaming the country under the leader
ship of a variety of ambitious cut
throats And. in the meantime. Amer
icans will do well to remember, that
the flag of their countrv afforded no
protection at all, even to their own
countrymen On the contrary foeetgn
flags had to he raised over American
consulates and the protests of Ameri
can ambassadors were as unheeded as
tile gentlest zephyr With the resump
tion of more normal conditions
throughout the world such an anar
chistic condition will not he long en
dured. oven though we may be content
to endure it. The T'nited States may
choose to stand calmly by If it will, but
It must not expect other nations to
i follow the example, for. despite our
efforts to uphold it, the Monroe Doc
trine will not long be tolerated If it
continues to stand in the way of pre
venting the just punishment of a hand
of irresponsible bandits fAf course, if
we are not willing to assume the
burden of doing what other nations
| would do most hastily if 1t were not
| for our assumed hostility in such
(event, the problem may still be solved.
tn a way. by abandoning the Monroe
‘doctrine. Vet, withal, litis would be
i
but a temporary solution at beat, since
Die present war is showing us full well
what tlie exploitation of European
policies on this continent would mean
to us In the long ruu. In other words
, we should have to go like our unfor
- lunate neighbors over the water, armed
to the teeth lest we be overborne by
! the very power that we permitted to
I assume our duties, hence it would
| set-in that the ancient maxim, An
} ounce of pretention is worth « pound
i of cure," has a most striking uppli
i cation for us.
The first essential to a clear under
standing is lo consider the case from
tlce opposite point of view and in this
•ase it is not dittii ult to understand
i how we should feel toward some Eu
ropean state, which like ourselves do
minuted, or claimed to dominate, its
neighbors, if that state refused to pro
tect our citizens or to permit us to
protect them. Would any expenditure
(of blood or cash bo accounted exces
sive in a crisis of that sort I’nlcss
wo irate lost the last spark of that
spirit which won our freedom from
‘ ..—... .„ „ i. ■
tyranny and oppression we would ret
talnly assume the ver\ attitude that.
Europe will surely assume wlftut the
great war has been fought and won
It is therefore evident what out
course should be We are forced to
choose either “the masterly aetlvitx
which leads to war or the masterful
activity which leads to peat o” and the
choice cannot be forever p »stponed b\
playing with word# < r pi
the cost of resolute action is prohi
bit ive
It is an idle evasion to answer that
we are not called upon to govern be
yond our own boundaries for hv tin*
very terms of the Monroe do. trine th*
lTtdted States alone is . (impotent to
coerce an American republic which ne
iglei ts or refuse^ to safeguard foreign
lives and property The Monroe Due
trine is tenable only on the condition
that we essay to do what others ar«
forbidden to undertake The long »nd
short of it is that we m:i\ refuse to
reckon with Mexico or with other
American republics which ire in 11K«*
situation, but our reckoning with Eu
rope will become tin* more certain with
each year of delay Vo red lvlooded
race will put up with injustice for th*
sake of a doctrine that we. who are it
sponsor, do not uphold ourselvo*
