America's position In the world ts different from that of any other |country. The United States ix the lonly great power in the western | hemisphere, and now ta the greatest | power in the world-—tn wealth, in | strength, and in the security which inheres in our geographic position We are hated by some people and j envied by all } © English are a great and brave people; the French have rendered | herole service to civilization, but we must remember that there never have been any enduring Internation jal affections, Twenty years ago England was the fast friend of Ger |many and nearly went to war with | France. During the Spanish war, as | you will remember, France was | swept by a passion of animosity for America. When I was a schoolboy in England, not so many years ago after all, the English held America | and Americans in contempt, | We have defeated Germany in a | Just war which followed a friend | ship of long standing. There have | been a hundred wars in the world | in the last hundred yeara But that [ia not the whole story. Mr. Bonar Law announced im the British house of commons last month that there were then 23 wars raging. I can see before me, as I write, the names jot the latest Americans killed in | Arctic Russia in a war waged by President Wilson's deeres, and not | by act of congress, according to our | constitution, | DOCTRINE CALLED | “REGIONAL UNDERSTANDING* | Tt i im the light of these facts j that we must consider first article | XXL, and then article X. The fist article of the covenant “opposed and fought to the last by Mr, Lloyd George—was placed in the | treaty to quiet the roar which went | up from America at the surrender | of the Monroe doctrine. Let us see | how it reads: | “Nothing im this covenant shall be ternational engagements, such aa | treaties ofarbitration or regional un- | derstandings like the Monroe doc trine for securing the mainfenance of peace.” Sounds very well. But the Monroe doctrine is not and never was an international engagement” or a “regional understanding.” There is reason to believa, as we shall nee in & moment, that Lord Robert Cecil and Gen, Smuts, who wrote most of the covenant, wrote that, too. The Monroe doctrine is not a regional policy, but the HritishJapanese all} ance in Asia in one. Under that they mutually guard thetr empires over | millions of unwilling subjects. An other “regional understanding” ts the Franco-British agreement that Britain is to remain the mistreas of | the sean ‘The Monroe doctrine, as every one knows, but as the old world diplo | mats refused to allow the covenant | to state, ig an AMERICAN POLICY WHICH FORBIDS European powers to acquire territory in this heris phere, and under America always |(and especially under President | Roosevelt) refused to be drawn into | Buropean brolla If you touch pitch | it sticks to your fingers, | The deseription of the Monroe doo | trine is not merely deceptive. It is downright false and must give rise to misunderstandings. What then? Mark the sequence, Gen. Smuts and Lord Robert Cecil wrote the cove | nant; Lioyd George opposed Fecognts- | ing the Monroe doctrine; it is con-| fusedly and untruthfully described | in the covenant. And now the Brit-| ish delegation at Paris gives out the | following staternent: | “ © © While should any dis | pate as to the meaning of the | latter (Monroe Doctrine) ever | arise between the American and European THE LEAGUE 18 THERE TO SETTLE IT.” Thet is the crux of the “re gional understanding = ‘hugger- | mugger.’” “The league is there to settle it.” America {s to lose the Monroe doctrine and, instead, under arti-| cle X, “the members of the league} thaeriake to” * preserve a# against external aggression the territorial | | integrity * * of all states members of the league.” | ‘That is the terrible pledge our delegates have given—that our| sons shall die to preserve the ter ritory of all the powers on earth No wonder that Theodore Roose-| velt maid to me the week before he| died that under any Laague of Na | tions we must be careful to preserve | the Monroe doctrine uncompromised La —_ - - ” BY THE HON, | GILBERT M. HITCHCOCK | United States Senator From Ne Draska, a Leader of tho Fight for the ¢ of Nations In the » Senate, The fact that America ts far re moved from old world troubles and | ff! has no direct political interest in Buropean affairs, made it possible for our country, thru President Wil fon, to exerciag all its influence and exert its full strength on behalf of the league of nations. | While other countries were strug &ling over boundaries or indemnities our representatives were giving their chief efforts to making the peace permanent and preventing future wars, America was recognized as the one disinterested power, anxious above all, to save humanity and civ ization from future wara The establishment of the league of nations has given to America the | moral leadership of the world. It has made our country the mont in fluential power im the coming era. | In the reorganized world our post tion is bound to be one of great im. | portance. In the material factors, such as wealth, food supply, banking credit, raw materials, and investment capacity we lead all others. So do we in military power, while in naval | power we are the only one having | the resources sufficient to make it| possible to match Great Britain if the need should arise, But that is not all nor the mort important. Our leadership in the moral sense is even more marked. WHERE WE LEAD, OTHER NATIONS WILL FOLLOW it We have shown that our nation desires no conquests and ts only anxious to use its gredt influence to establish international justice and peace among the nations. That GAL TWO—LEAGUE OF Nations makes America a tremendous factor | in the league of nations, Where we lead other nations will follow This ts true not only of the many South American and Central Ameri can republics that have enjoyed our help and protection under the Mon- | roe doctrine, for many years, but it | is true of other nations that dread war and desire peace. i This brings me to consider an-| other form of attack that has been made on the league with great per | sistence; namely, that in going into | the league we abandon the policy known aa the Monroe doctrine. | This is not true It would not be| fi true even if the Monroe doctrine | Were not mentioned in the league) covenant. Hut as a matter or fact | Preaident Wilson succeeded in hav ing the Monroe doctrine specially | mentioned and reserved in the! covenant. It is the only national | policy of any member of the league ||| that is specifically mentioned and | Fecognized and it im the first time in| history that it has been so recog | nized Wl Critios of the league, however, | are now splitting hairs over the way in which the Monroe doctrine ts ree- ognized. They complain that it 1 clansified as a “regional understand. | ing,” and they may it is not one and that this destroys the validity of the | reservation. | WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES | CLASSIFICATION MAKE? i What possible difference does it | make whether we classify it as a regional understanding, @ regional | policy, & national policy, or anything | oles, as long as we agree that it) shall remain in force and effect? — | Whatever the Monroe doctrine ts, | J) America has made tt—nobody eine. | It is agreed that nothing in the| league covenant shall affect its | validity. What more does any reas. onable man want? | By the Monroe doctrine tn 1823) the United States announced to the | world that we would regard It as a cause for war if any European coun try attempted any act of aggression | against any nation on this Western | hemisphere for purposes of coloniz- | tion or oppression. If a league of nations had been tn existence then | it would not have been necessary for our nation to assume alone the bur den of that announcement. The many nations in the league covenant now declare for the whole world | what we alone declared for the West ern hemisphere only. The 30 or more nations belonging to the league declare in article 10 of the coven- ant “The members of the league undertake to respect and pre serve as against external aggres- sion the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all states members of the league.” That declaration by many nations does for the whole world what the Monroe doctrine promulgated by | {| the United States alone did for the/|]) Western world. } 2s, OAKLAND, Cal.
