Monday, December 3, 1951 MONROE DOCTRINE On December 2nd, 1823, President James Monroe, arose before Congress and delivered his annual mes- sage, which has now become the famous Monroe Doctrine. After the Napoleonic Wars in Europe had ended, the reactionary powers instigated by Matternich, form- ed the Holy Alliance to restore old monarchies and empires wherever they were threatened by the sweee of French ideas of liberty, fraternity and equality Spain wanted to get volted colonies in South America. expand in the North Pacific. Monroe oke: “The occasion has been judged, proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are in- volevd, that the American continents by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and control of her recently re- Russia wanted to powers . . . With the governments who have declared their independence and maintained it ... we rcould not view any interposition for the purpose of op- pressing them or of controlling in any other manner their destiny by any European power in any light than a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition to the United States.” In pursuit of this policy, known as the Monroe Docirine, the French were asked to withdraw from Mexico, where, during the Civil War, they had set up a monarchy, with Maximillian on the throne. President Cleveland also cited the Monroe Doctrine as justification for demanding that the boundary dis- pute between Great Britain and Venezuela be settled by arbitration for the protection of Venezuelan rights Almost 128 years have passed since PTCSH’!?H[? Monroe spelled out the policy which has so long preserved and protected this continent against the | encroachments of European powers. All but the last 15 of those years have seen a strict observance of Monroe’s common-sense doctrine. Today, however, we are faced with new problems. The late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, with his grandiose schemes of a world community of nations, | saw fit to discard the principles that had so long held our shores inviolate. While we are in no im- mediate danger of foreign powers seeking to colon- ize our states, we are in grave danger of assuming the yoke of European and Asian government. We refer to the outmoded treaty laws which permit ratification of agreements with foreign pow- ers by the Exccutive and two-thirds of the Senate. So long as this nation chooses to enter into treaty agreements through the United Nations, we shall be in constant jeopardy of government by Soviet Russia and her satellites. It is not that Russia is able to dictate our laws and nationalspolicies, but that she is able, by means of her veto power, to nullify any international agree- ments entered into by our delegation to the United Nations. So long as our law provides that treaties shall supersede the acts of our Congress and the legisla- tures of the several states and Territories, we will remain shackled in our foreign affairs — free to act only at the pleasure of Communist Russia. It is time that the Congress review our treaty laws with an eye to the basic aims of the Monroe Doctrine. Although our outlook in the matter of foreign affairs has long since outgrown the confines of the Western Hemisphere, our fundamental task of preserving American ideals and ideologies remains at home. Idyllic are the dreams of the happy family of nations — but they are still just dreams. Until y Havre ... maintained, are henceforth not to subjects for future colonization by they materialize in the years to come, we are obliged to keep America American in policy. be considered as any European The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round {Continued from Page One) ners and that the $248,000 to “Lo- pez” The T-Men, including Ralph Read, intelligence agent in San Francisco, Dan Goodykoontz, intelli- Zen; nt in Los Angeles, and Walter Campbell, chief counselsin San Francisco, came to Washington, recommended prosecution of gamb- lers Marvin Kovey, Albert Kogus, arry Rockwell, and Phil Cobert, partners in Guaranty Finance. In Washington, they conferred with various high Treasury offi- cials, including Assistant Commis- sioner Bolich, who has been seen in the company of gambling-king Frankie Costello; also with Charles Oliphant, Internal Revenue coun- sel, and W. H. Woolf, head of the intelligence unit. But, though the case seemed air- tight, the Treatury, for some strange reason, let it drop. Mean- while in Los Angeles. California state authorities, impatient with the Fcoderal government, proceeded to prosecute officials of the Guaranty Finance Company on anogher charge and put them behind bars. No one has ever been able to find out why the Treasury was so eriously inactive. Maybe GOP members of the King committze can. BOX 1952 The voting public doesn't realize it, but, while the American people elect a president, they do not nom- inate. In Philadelphia in 1948, Dcmow ratic delegates churned in the lob- chafed at their helplessness, wanted to nominate anyone except Truman, ended up voting for Tru- man. They were tied by jobs, ma- chine leaders, and the party whip. This has been true of other De-, mocratic conventions for 12 years, | plus some Republican. Delegates get pledged months in advance. They pick what they think is the band-wagon, and jump on it. It also takes money to corral delegates. In fact, getting nominated is now big business—and the voters don't have much to say about it. In an effort to bring nominations | back to the people, however, the rington Merry-Go-Round will t a presidential public-op- poll—beginning with the Re- puklicans. Later, there will Demccratic Poll. Here is how you can participate: 1. Send a penny post card to the candidate you favor, care Box 1952, Washington 13, D. C. This may be the last time you can send a post card for one cent.) 2. 1f, for instance, you favor Eis- enhower, address the card to “Gen. Eisenhower, Box 1952, Washington, 13, D. C.” and on the reverse side wr “I'm for you in '52."” Or, if you're for Senator Taft, Gov. War- ren ¢/ California, or any other GOP candidate, address the post card to him, care Box 1952, Washington 13. 3. Give your name and address. Your name will not be published, but it’s important to give it. Ringers and anonymous voters are not want- ed. 4. Give your present political party. This too is important, be- cause in next year’s election a lot of people may cross party lines. was paid for police protection. | be | 110 Out; .35 Arrive \Over Weekend on |Pacific Northern Ten persons flew to the Westward on Pacific Northern Airlines over | the weekend and 35 arrived here. *To Anchorage: M.
