It is also evident that Hitler is giving the doctrine an interpretation which was never imag ined by President Monroe. The Monroe Doctrine did not come into existence as a long considered, carefully thought out statement of U. S. policy. Rather, it was swiftly conceived to meet a condition which, in 1823, menaced the sovereignty of this nation. At that time the three great European states of Russia. Prussia and Austria had formed a “ holy alliance” to crush a revolution in Spain, and were casting covetous glances at Spain’s many possessions in the Western Hemisphere. In addition. Russia, which then owned Alaska, was attempting to dominate the northwestern coast of this continent in the interest of her merchant ships. So President Monroe issued an official warning in which he said that the Americas “ are henceforth not to be considered as subjects of future colonization by any European powers.” In other words, the statue quo was to be maintained so far as Europe was con cerned. Afterwards, the policy which had been declared to meet the emergency of the moment, became a convenient instrument for protecting American interests in subsequent crises. Today it is obvious that the doctrine is to be used to provide legal grounds for preventing the Axis powers from seizing New World possessions belonging to the democracies. Germany has met this challenge by asserting that the doctrine must work two ways if others are expected to observe it—that, in brief, the U. S. must stop interfering with European affairs if Europe is to keep out of the Americas. And here is where the vast difference of interpretation appears. For the doctrine, as we have always understood and applied it. deals only with physical transfers of territory, not with political activity. We have never used it to deny a European power the right to carry on political or diplo matic work in our sphere of influence. Hitler seems to want to interpret the doctrine to include “ moral suasion” no less than military force. > In addition, high German officials have intimated that they deem it proper to apply a Monroe Doctrine of their own to Cen tral Europe. They argue they have as much right to do this as we have to apply the original doctrine throughout the Ameri cas. And again, there is a great difference in interpretation. For we have not used the doctrine as an excuse for imperial expan sion and geographical aggression. We have not believed that it gave us the right to enslave and oppress other peoples. To the contrary, we argue, we have used it only to protect w eaker na- tions from the possible oppression of potential conquerors.
