" ENVOYS PAY HONOR AT MONROE SHRNE Castle .Paper Flays “Right” of Intervention of U, S. Under Doctrine. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, July 4.—There was a pilgrimage of nations | today to a low-roofed farm house in the Virginia mountains. Representatives of a score of Ameri- san and European countries paid tribute this afternoon to the memory af Presi- dent James Monroe in the box-hedged rden at Ashlawn, 5 miles into“the {lls from the old State university, en the 100th anniversary of his Here the author of the Monroe doc- Wrine lived for 25 years beforé he be- came the fifth President of the United tates. Here, with the inspiration of is closest neighbor, 2 miles up the mountain road, at Monticello, he evolved the philosaphy of statecraft which was to make him sn immortal figure in the history of relations among nations. Four Leaders Lived Nearhy. The envoys of the nations came to- day—a sober, gray-day on oak-forested slopes of the ragged mountains—to the real cradle of American ideals, where the concepts of freedom, justice and liberty were born and nursed in the minds of philosophers before they were introduced to the world in the smoke of revolutionary battles and the finesse of diplomacy. It was & unique society of the gentle- man farmers and scholars who dwelt here back in the late eighteenth cen- ful ‘There was Jefferson at Monti- cello. There was Monroe at Ashlawn. Madison and John Marshall were occa- slonal residents. Something of genius of the moun- #ains entered their thinking. Their minds drew from the environment ele- ments of the majesty of eterral hills around them, of the vastness of the ect of the eountryside below, with P{."Ex'.‘nm of blue-gray haze tossing SII the wind, which Jefferson called his Ashlawn JIs Shrine Now. 80 1t was to a classie land that the diplomats came. Monticello long since has been a shrine. The humbler Ash- lawn, until a year ago, was forgotter sand was rescued as it was falling into decay. It had been a farmhouse and 8 place for Summer boarders. Few femembered its association with Monroe. Now it is being restored to its orig- nal state and as many as possible of the personal possessions of Monroe and his family are being installed. There are still the box hedges he planted ‘When he tried to settle down to the life of a country gentleman after the rev- elution. The guests today lingered in the shade of the lofty Nerwegian pine which he brought from RBurope and lanted with his own hands. Inside he house they ehuckled at the quaint series of “moral” engravings which he brought back from Franee, depicting the progress of the “good girl” to the marriage altar with her master and the decline of the “bad girl” to an unhonored grave. Many Diplomats Attend. ‘The following members of the Wash- ington diplomatic eorps represented their nations at the ceremonies today: 8enor Dr. Don Adrian Recinos, Min- ister of Guatamala: Senor Dr. Juan B. Bacasa, Minister of Nicaragua; Dr. Leonide Pitamic, Minister of Jugo- slavia; Senor Dr. Homero Viterl La- fronte, Minister of Ecuador: Mr. Dan- tes Bellegarde, Minister of Haiti: Senor Dr. Don Fabio Lozano, Minister of Colombia; Senor Dr. Den Jose T. Ba- ron, charge d'affaires of Cuba; Mr. Wiadyslaw Sokolowski, counselor of the Polish embassy; Sener Dr. Don Pablo Bantos Munoz, first secretary of the Argentine embassy; Senor Don Bablo M. Ynsfran, charge d'affaires of Para- guay. Mr. Augusto Mendes Leal, first secretary and charge d'affaires of Por- tugal; Senor Don Guillermo E. Gonzale, eoammereial counselor and charge d'af- faires of Costa Rica; Senor Don Pablo Herrera de Huerta, counselor and eharge daffaires of the Mexian em- bassy; M.

Raymond Bousquet, seeond secretary of the French embassy; Mr. Roger Makins, third secretary of the British embassy; Mr. Plerre de Salis, attache of the legation of Switzer- land, and Senor Don Juan Lozane, son of the Minister of Colombia. The diplomats reached Charlottes- ville by special train at noon and were met by a welcoming’ committee headed by Dean Charles G. Maphis of the University of Virginia. Then they pro- eeeded to the University, where the life and work of Monroe were lauded and the present status of the Monree Doc- trine interpreted in an address writ- ten by W. R. Castle, jr., Underseere- tary of State, and read in his absenee. At 2 pm. they arrived at Ashlawn, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jay W. Johns, present owners of the estate, who kept the old house from falling to pieces. Historic Desk Installed, ‘This was the one place, they were fold, where Monroe was really happy, and it was heart-breaking when finan- cial difficulties after he retired from the White House forced him to sell the home wflich he had built, whose low-arched hall framed a vista of Monticello on the nearby mountain- side. - From_ Ashlawn the party proceeded #o the home of Jefferson. Here, with 8 brief ceremony, was installed as a permanent exhiblt the desk on which was signed the treaty of peace with Mexico, the quill pen with which it was signed and the draft of a letter written by James Buchanan, then Sec- retary of State, to Nicholas B. Trist, then a special agent for the United States, explaining the eonditions under which the treaty was signed. Trist was the husband of Jefferson's grand- daughter. The diplomatic party then returned to Washington, but at the university the exercises in honor of Monree were continued in the evening with an ad- dress by Dr. Willlam E. Dodd, profes- sor of American history at University of Chicago, on National Politics a Hundred Years Ago. Castle Clarifies Doetrine, Present-day criticisms of the Monroe doctrine, Mr. Castle wrote in his ad- dress, which was read by James Murdock, an assistant to the solicitor of the State Department, are almost entirely due to misunderstanding of its purposes and misunderstanding of its meaning. The faet that the doctrine is unilateral, he said, seems to have caused some irritation against it in Latin America. Mr. Castle had planned to deliver the address in person at the exercises, but was prevented from leaving Wash- ington by the continuation of repara- tions eonferences in Paris, “Why,” he asked, m- up the unilateral aspect of the' | 10 cover the aetivities of Amerieans i nroe doctrine and invite them (the Latin American nations) to join with us in making it an American doctrine? The answer seems to me very ele: ‘This weuld eonstitute a treaty of liance which is contrary to our tra- ditions and our institutions. “If the Latin American nations do not themselves individually - proclaim similar doetrines, it is because they know they would act in accord with the irit of the doctrine whether or mot had been proclaimed as a policy.

NE HUNDRED years agoe Iol- terday James Monroe died at the e of his son-in-law, Samuel L. Gouverneur, in the clty of New York. He was the nt of the United States to pass from the earthly stage on the Na- tion's hirthdey. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two of his four pred- ecessors, had died on July 4, 1836. Monroe, accord! to modern his- torians, has been undeservedly ne- lected by the people in whose service {Q spent_his life. He has become & | shadowy figure in the dim corridors of | the structural period of our Govern- ment. It is doubtful if the average | citizen of the present generation could | mention 10 simple facts with regard to his career; and yet we pay him from day to day a far greater homage than | mere remembrance, for we commonly think in respect to many matters of | public poliey as he taught us to think, | we repeat without being conscious of the source axioms of democracy which he evolved or to which he gave official sanction. Of course, the mest notable of these conceptions is that which still | bears his name—the celebrated Monroe Doctrine. James Monroe came of Bcottish eav- alier stock. His immediate parentage | was Virginian on both sides. His fa- ther was Spence Monroce, his mother Eliza Jones of King George Oounty. He was born on April 28, 1758, at the head of Monroes Creek, Westmoreland County, Va. not far from the birth- place of e Washington, nor very distant from that of James Madison. Entered Army in 1776. ‘When the boy was 8 or 9 years of age his father's household and those of his neighbors were stirred by the passage of the atamp act; and James recelved some valuable instruction in politics from the discussions in which his father, his maternal uncle, Joseph | Jones; various friends and occasional | strangers participated in the lad's| hewring. In 1774 the boy was sent to the Col- | leg> of William and Mary, then the richest school in North America. There again hé had an excellent opportunity | to study eurrent politics—as well as| matters less dramatic. In 1776, when the final die was cast, young Monroe was ready; he was one of the 30 stu- dents who followed three of the fac- | ulty into the fray—John Marshall was another, Monroe was 18 when he joined the Continental Army at Washington's headquarters near New York. H: was received into ‘the serviec as a lieuten- | ant in the 3d Virginia Regiment under | Col. Hugh Mercer. In September he ! was with the troops at Harlem, in Oe- | tober he was at White Plains, in De- JAMES MONROE. From an Original Portrait. Prench people, and that he did not hesitate to express his admiration for the Gallic revolutionary struggle to- ward freedom. Soon after his arrival he was received by the National Con- vention, and on this occasion he gave utterance to sentiments which brought down upon him the critieism of less lib- eral colleagues. . In 1706 he was re- called. The one great tical result of Monroe's stay in ris was that he effectively alded in the successful en- deavor to prevent war between France and the United States. He was tensely popular with the French peo ple—an advantage by no means insig. nificant in the eircumstances. It 1 worth noting that for many months he had as a st in his Paris house the unparalleled pamphleteer, ‘Thomas Paine. Indeed, it was Monroe who had secured Paine’s release from cember he was wounded at Trenton— | and he carried the ball in his shoulder | as long as he lived. In the campaigns of 1777-1778 he was a volunteer a the staff of the Earl of BStirli | toak part in the battles of Brandywine, | | Germantown and Monmouth. But dur- | ing the latter period of the war he was | 1-ss active. We hear of him as a mili- | | tary commissioner after the fall of | Charleston,- 8. C.. 1780, and we know | that he attained to the rank of lieuten- | ant colonel, but in the last phases of | the struggle he was not privileged to | participate in mueh actual Aghting. At the suggestion of Jefferson he re- turned to the study of law, and in Sep- tember, 1780, he was studying under Jefferson’s personal direction. One of his biographers says: “It is clear that his intimacy with Jefferson * * * was the key to Monroe's political eareer. The support and counsel of the older statesman had a marked influence upon the life of the younger. Their friend- hip continued till it was broken by Jef- | ferson's death.” In 1782 Monroe was ehosen a dele- gate to the Virginia Assembly and made a member of the Executive Council. In 1782 and agein in 1784-1786 he was & member of the Continental Congress, meeting _in Annapolis. Trenten and New York. In the latter city he met :"’lldfl married Miss Eliza Kortright in ‘Was Minister to France. ‘The young couple settled at Freder- cksburg, Va., where Monree intended to practice law. But in 1787 he was re- turned to the Virginia Assembly, and ginia convention to ratify the Federal Constitution. Pelitics, once entered, had elaims upon him which he could not deny: his dream of life as a country lawyer vanished. From 1790 to 1794 he was a United States Senator. In 1781 he was a member of the commission for revising the laws of the State of Vir- ginia. On May 28, 1794, he was com- missioned Minister to France. He ar- rived in Paris on August 2. four or five days after the fall of Robespierre. With regard to his career abroad, there has been considerable eontroversy. 1 &eem to be that he was a 1" in the service of a very ean- servative administration; that he had a great personal affection for the would he more willing than we to see one of their independent neighbors ab- sorbed into the palitical system of a non-American natien. Al of these natiens are instinetively as surely lurp- porters of the policy of America for Amerieans as we are. The fact that we happen publiely to have proclaimed the policy makes our interest no great- er. The Monroe doetrine eonfers no superior position on the United States. Raps “Right” te Interfere. “Another reeson that the Monree Doctrine hes been disliked in Latin America is that it has been wrongly eredited with glving us a right, in our own minds at least, to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations. In the protection of American interests in Latin American countries the Monree Doctrine has ne more place than in the protection of those interests in the Orient. “No one in the American Government asks for our citizens engaged in busi- ness in Latin America mere than we ask for them in other parts of the world. We expect that the governs ments of the nations where they preside and work shgll treat them fairly as we treat foreigners in our own cauntry. But in Latin Ameriea this dees not flow frem anything contained or implievl in | the Monroe Doctrine, but rather from international law and the custom of nations.” The undersecretary said the doctrine “has no taint of imperialism. Perhaps diplomatie intervention has sometimes been unwise, even unfair,” he said. “One hears of ‘dollar diplomacy.’ If this ever existed it has, thank God, gone the way of all bad policies.”" Monroe Served E: Depression. ! Dr. Dodd teld the story of Monroe's troubled eareer. He hecame President, he pointed out, at the clese of the great Napoleonie wars when the sud- den peace, leaving great brought about one of the greatest de- pressions in history. This seriously af- fected the United Btates, and there was | actually very little “gocd feeling” in the | administration which hes been ehris- tened in history as “the era of good ¢ feeling.” } The Monroe Doctrine, he declared, was “the result of concerted and wise co-operation with —that element of British public,epinien which ever had | bren sympathetic with ths best of This doe | who wished to do what Monros had { warned men not to da.” The great depression eentinued when Monroe left office, Dr. Dodd sald, so that his life ended in comparative tragedy, His home was under a mort- gage so heavy that it could not be in 1788 he was a member of the Vir-| surpluses, | for prison. Later this was cited against him by his political critics: today it is almost universally considered s no- ble and generous action for which Mon- roe is justly entitled to credit. Sent Abread Again. Back in America, Monree again plan- ned to retire to private practice. But instead he was called to serve three terms as Governor of Virginia (1700- 1802). On January 11, 1808, he was commissioned Minister to Prance and to Spain; on April 18 of the same year heuwu accredited to Great Britain as well. His friend Jefferson was President. | Jefterson particularly wished Monroe to go abroad to bring to completion the dilatory negotiations for the purchase of Louisiana. ‘The story of the proceedings in which Napeleon Bonaparte, Prince Talleyrand, Barbe Marbois, Robert R. Livingston and James Monrpe played the leading parts and which resulted in the greatest real estate transaction in modern his- has often been told. It is dra- matic in the extreme. Its importance to the United States cannot be exag- gerated. But it is a narrative too lengthy to be repeated at this time. Suaf‘e it to say that an agreement was reached at last whereby the United States paid France 80,000.000 francs— a total from whieh a substantial deduc- tion was mads by Bonaparte in settle- ment of various private American claims against his country. Prom is Monree moved to London | to negotiate with the British govern- | ment with regard to the impressment of seamen on American ships and re- lated matters. But England was in po- litical chaos at the time, and Monroe's efforts falled—a fact which had much | to de with bringing about the War of | 1812. Returning-to Paris, the Minister entered into discussion with the diplo- ‘matic representatives of Bpain with re- |gard to the American purchase of PFlorida, but this endeavor also came to nothing—for the time being. Monroe went back to London, where in 1806 he coneluded a treaty witn Great Britain, but this also proved a fatlure, for Jef- ferson refused to accept it. Monroe returned home late in 1807. His second on 8l been much more suceessfyl than his first, but he wa not satisfled. Once again he consid ered retirement to private life. But it was not to be. He was sent to the Vir- ginia Assembly in 1810, and was elected Governor of Virginia in 1811, Lead War Department. Meanwhile James Madison had be- come President (1808). Madison de- sired Monroe's presence in his eabinet, Finally Monroe accepted the past of Secretary of State (1811). He remained in office until 1817, part of the time serving as head of the Treasury and War Department as well. These years were replete with na- tional trouble. The struggle with Great, Britain was indifferently managed in the ning: later when it was bet- ter lered & heavy price had to be id for earlier mistakes. The Capi- , which Monroe had aided in found- ing (1784), was burned (August Z4-26, 1814); the Government fled (for three days); defeat seemed inevitable. At the crisis Madison turned over to Mon- roe the business of reorganizing the ‘War Department.
