MONROE DOCTRINE STRENGTHENED
--
Much is heard nowadays about how the Monroe doc
trine may be affected by the entry of the United into the
European war. The Monroe doctrine simply meant that
the United States served notice, during the administration
of President Monroe, that no foreign country should grab
off any more territory on the American continent, and
that if one attempted to do so it would have to fight the
United States.
It is a matter of history that Germany attempted to
settle a large part of southern Brazil, and did colonize it
to the extent of 500,000 men, women and children. Even
today many of the schools in southern Brazil aie taught
in German.
England has never been desirous of securing more
territoi v on the American continent than that which she
had in the Dominion of Canada. A diplomatic bargain
v.as arranged between England and the United States,
England was to pretend to take some of the territory be-]
longing to Venezuela m South America and the United
States was to threaten to go to war with England if stiej
did not return the territory, which she had practically
seized. England promptly returned the territory and
stated she would recognize the Monroe doctrine. The ef
fect of this was that Germany could go no further in
South America without having to tight both England and,
the United States. From that day to this it has been be-;
lieved by Americans who understood the inside informa
tion that some day we would be obliged to fight Germany,]
as it was well known that the sentiment of the German!
government was antagonistic to the l nited States and to
England.
The result of our entering the European war will not|
weaken the Monroe doctrine, because it has been indorsed
by England and will be indorsed by all the other allies. J
The Monroe doctrine will stand out stronger than ever)
before.
England has all the territory she can handle in Africa
and no doubt France will be given the territory taken
irom Germany in Africa, which will give these two coun
tries all they can handle in the next century. Russia has
all the territory she can settle and develop in the next cen
tury. and Italy will probably be given territory taken from
the Turks.
There is no doubt that the big South American coun
tries appreciate the situation, as shown by Brazil virtual-'
lv declaring war on Germany, Uruguay backing Brazil,
and Argentina, although a great deal of German money!
is invested there, is very anxious to get in with the United
States and the allies. Chile and Peru will come in next.
Bolivia, Panama and Cuba are already in and Costa Rica
and Guatemala are in about the same position. If there!
ever was any danger of Mexico trying to make trouble for
the United States at this time, she will be very likely to
think twice when she finds the South American and Cen
tral American countries all supporting us.
We are not wholly free from danger from Mexico, but
i: it should come, let the United States give a free hand
to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California, enabling
them to clean up with the state militia and the regular
troops who have been left on the border, and short work:
will be made of Mexico, yet we could put the Mexicans un
der so large an indemnity to the United States that we
would be dictating their government and policies for
many years to come.
The policy of President Wilson in showing we did not
desire any of Mexico’s territory has convinced the coun
tries of South America that we had no territorial designs
upon them, and this helped them to make up their minds
to stand with us.—(Exchange.)
One of the most discourteous things in the world is
for a man to refuse our advice and then make good.
