The Monroe Doctrine origina! product of English and America strength through the early decades lay in the will-| ingness of Great Britain to back when she had sea power and we did not. in the Far East has been developi Britain's policy, and in such a way as to insure that each of the great English-speaking nations might aid the other in the defense of common interests in Asia. In more recent decades Anglo- tion has taken the form primaril; Jabor, with the British fleet controlling the Atlantic and the American fleet the Pacific. peril of a resurgent Germany has taken form, the unwritten, almost unspoken, partnership- of America and Britain has been crystallizing.
