likelihood of an Invasion of American

"The United States is eonrpeliea to

because such a change in ths status

Doctrine xs Formal. .
"Briefly put, the so-called Monroe,,
doctrine la a formula which expresses),
a fact and not a policy. That fctr
Is Inherent in the political geography,,
of the America and in the condi--tlona
of modern warfare. Event-so
peaceful a country as ths United if
States, which desires no war ind III
bound to suffer heavily from any war
in which she engages, whether victor!
ous or defeated, may not have the'
choice. Peace oan be maintained only
by convincing Germany and Japan,''
which are the two powers m6t likely '
to be moved by an ambition to possess'
American territory. But the United'
States will defend her interests' even
though they Seem at first to be only '
indirectly affected. If we are not pre-J
pared to take that ground, ths Monroe !
doctrine is dead. , jj
"If we are willing to go to that limit, j
It must be proved by Intelligent pre-,'
paration. That means a kind of or-'
ganlzatlon through powerful general',
staffs, and centralisation of the war;
department and navy department.
which congress lias never been willing,
to authorize. It means an enlarge-'
ment of the military and naval forces,
and ultimately some form of military'!
training of the Swiss type. It means t
a willlngnc.es to face the world as it, I
Is, and no longer to live In the delu ,
