True we have maintained the Monroe doctrine, If we have maintained this doctrine for nearly 100 years because of altruistic reasons, we have @ right to feel a little righteous over it. But I believe our motive has teen, to a large extent, selfish. George Channing, secretary of state for foreign affairs in Eing- land, just 100 years ago, pro. posed that England and the United Staten join in a joint declaration warning European nations to leave the lately lib erated Spanish-American cole onies alone in a political way. You remember that those col- onies had, during the first 20 years of the century, revolted from Spain and gained their freedom. England was building up a large trade with these peo- bles and did not care to see their commerce destroyed by wars of conquest. Russia was worrying the United States at this time by her encroachments in Alaska, the United States was afraid that Europe would start on a new career of conquest in America and was not sure where it would end. When England made the above Proposal President Monroe was at first in favor of accepting tt, but later decided to make the declaration on the part of the United States alone. Since the first declaration of this policy up to the end of the last century England's navy was the real force behind the Monroe doctrine. Honesty seems to com- pel us to admit that we adopted thix doctrine for selfish reasons, and left the enforcing of it, to a large extent, to England. It is a good doctrine all right, but don't let’s claim too much credit. If you vatue your watch, let Haynes repair it.
