THE MONROE DOCTRINE
The acidly polite debate recently carried on between the
United States and German governments concerning the Monroe
Doctrine reveals that this traditional American policy is subjet
to widely varying interpretations. 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.
