3E US AT THE OLD
England and the United States. is
Since President Cleveland sent to ri8
longress the message relating to the su
oundary line between Guiana and *ai
renezuela, there has been much specu- to
itional dispute. A few statements
iay be necessary to an understanding sai
f the situation. ??j
The Monroe doctrine is not an inter- Tl
ational law and no foreign nation is ??]
ound to resDect it. *e<
For more than seventy years it has Ai
een a settled principle of the United c,!
tates. It is not incorporated in our ?r<
Dnstitution of laws, but is a part of
be higher law that finds lodgment in ^
ae hearts and minds of the people. 8,1
Since President Monroe announced g?
tie principle in 1823, it has never been
ut severely to test. N ve
When a crisis does come and the is- cu
Lie is squarly made, the principle will C<
ave to be folly established and en- ?
irced by arms, provided other nations
sfuse to recognize it as a right be>nging
to the United States. c?(
Our government is bound to enforce A
ie principle at all hazards, or give it M
p entirely. There dan be no middle h?
rnnnri If wa Hat.ftrmino to stand hv at
ais.doctrine, the country may be inolved
in a war with some greedy, M
ggressive nation that desires to ac- di
uire territory on this continent. If
e surrender the doctrine then we inite
England, France, Spain and any bi
ther nation to come over and take "S
ossession of Mexico, the Central Wl
tmerican States and all the weak states h?
f South America. Single-handed or V
anfederated, those States could not
withstand the power of the govern- U
lents of the old world. The very day **
iat the United States removes her aS
rotecting arm from the other govern- cu
lents of this continent, that day Engtnd
will begin to plan for the posses- 9*
on of all the territory that would he'
insidered a valuable acquisition. The
irrible history of India would .be reAb
the now staijdr'there is.

er territory. Fat forty years <5r Ion- sj
er, she has been asking for an>vbitra- or
on. England has refused at one time o\
ud are, folly evaded>-the -matter at tb
notheri. Our government knows if
olhingdf the boundary line. England fe
jfuses toNfive any information, but gi
eclares that- they will hold up to a tr
ertain line known as the Schomourgh ci
urvey. The President asked Congress tb
)r a commission to investigate the fe
latter and report. That request was ab
ranted. The commission will be ap- sp
ointed at an early day. They may ed
ot be able to report before May or tif
une. Longer time may be required, of
Vhen they make a thorough research, 01
i may be ascertained that England m
ia.s not trespassed one inch on terri- th
ory not belonging to her. But if she ici
ias. in her greed for enlarged posses- cb
DD8, attempted by force or fraud"to se- of
ure the territory belonging to a weak in
nd unprotected republic, then the "I
'resident will send a communication Li
o the English government, submitting Ti
,11 the facts. He will plead again for in
, settlement of the matter by arbitra- n?
ion. Eugland will, no doubt, submit be
o the proposition and a final settleoent
will be reached.
Many people seem to think that a
var is eminent. The good common
ense of both nations will come to the ?~
escue and prevent a collision. Neither jL
ountry desires a war. Meantime the P
ountry will go on as usual and the ^
xcitement will soon pass away and our
)eople will quietly wait for the report
if the commission.

elling what the Venezuela case is in r;

"A correspondent asks for a state- al

'To the editor of the Sun?Sir: There

oe doctrine. Please set before us just p
jow the Monroe doctrine is transgress- a)

Your Mascot.'
The gist of the Monroe doctrine is in
the sentence: "Any attempt by the ^
European powers to extend their sys- w
[em to any portion of this hemisphere
is dangerous to our peace and safety."
There is no final knowledge on the rp
part of any officer of the United States
that this principle has been violated by
England in connection with Vene- l,
icuela. All that we know is that terri- ^
tory which for years has been in dispute
between Venezuela and England, y
