V , i 6 k V. 1 ; LEAGUE IS VIEWED WITH SUSPICION i BY LAI STATES 1 i Salvador Asks for Statement on Monroe Doctrine; Lodge Res v ervations Are Seen as Menace. By David Iawrrnce Cppyrlfbt, 1920 v W'Mhington, Feb. 12. Central and Couth American countries have be come suspicious of the Insistence by certain member of the United States senate of a reservation to the peace treaty which would give 'this ' country alone the right to Interpret S Atho Monroe- doctrine. . The note addressed to the department et state by the government of Salva dor, aaklnr the United States to define at this time its Interpretation of the 'Monroe doctrine, means, I am assured y onm of the ministers who fs In touch , with the views of other governments, that Central and South American re publics wjll not enter the Irue ot , Nations If they must sign ay tb the United States the sole right of deter- - mining what the Monroe doctrine means without any understanding in advance of what It does include. ' TEAR OF AMERICA The situation Is a direct outgrowth i of the senate debate and reports here ' indicate that the prospect of bringing the Pan-American - countries Into the League of Nations binges directly on the purposes and motives ot the United : States ar revealed by the discussion In 5 the American senate. To the original statement by Presl- dent Monroe of our national policy of . preventing European countries from ac ( quiring territory or colonizing in this I hemisphere, the republics south of us ' havs no objection. But' they have watched th Monro doctrine Interpreted i variously by Republican arid Democratic jQmlnlstratlons In such fashion as to . evoke suspicion on the part of their . peoples that the Monroe doctrine means to the United States not only a bulwark ;,' against 'European interference, but also the prlsllega of doing as we please south of . the Rio Grande. f CLAD TO ACCEPT AID f South America hasn't forgotten Elihu Koot's refusal to make the Monroe doc- : trine a common principle of Interna tional understanding In thin hemisphere, nor has President Roosevelt's- remark about the use of "international police power" been dismissea irom mc sen sitive minds of Latin American states- ' men. They s re gratified that the United States keeps Europe out of this heml . sphere, but worried over the repeated In- terference by the United States in what they construe as their own affairs. The question asked by Salvador was prompted by the fear that with the - United States out of the league, Europe would be left to. determine what consti ' tuted "an impairment of the validity of such regional understandings as the Monroe doctrine," as the covenant now reads. : LODGE AROUSES DOUBT " There is no objection to the state- ment that the United States alone shall . be permitted to enforce the Monroe doc- trine, but there Is a decided aversion ! to leaving blank just what the future In- terpretation tt the doctrine shall be. The moment any Central or South American countries sijen the conditions of the covenant of the league, they '.' would of coarse accept the principle ) that the Monroe doctrine is not af 1 fected, but if a reservation is added saying, as Senator Lodge and the for eign relations committee has' framed : It, that the Monroe doctrine, as Inter ' preted by the United States alone, is !. outside of the jurisdiction of the league. the southern republics would refuse to put their signatures on the contract, wnsoir IESS HARSH - They say it would be a plain admis sion on their part that the United States alone can interpret the Monroe doctrine as It pleases. It will be noted that President Wilson, Impressed no doubt by the arguments of Latin American diploma is at the Paris peace confer ence, used less harsh language when he referred to the doctrine as a "re gional understanding." That would seem to imply that there must be two .parties at least to an un derstanding and that the disputes would be worked out purely- by pan-American countries without Interference by Eu ropean members of the league. This Is a logical consequence of the Wilson pol icy toward Latin America, revealed from time to time in the last seven years. On one occasion, Mr. Wilson an nounced the readiness of the govern ment to pledge itself to guarantee the territorial Integrity and political Inde pendence of the republics south of the Rio Grande. This pledge was accom panied by a reciprocal pledge to enter Into a mutual promise to respect each others' boundaries, but failed owing to the outbreak of the European war. which upset all diplomacy In this hemi sphere. Mr. Roosevelt's policies were not In tended to hurt the feelings of Latin American peoples, but his annual mes sage to congress In 1904 is still regard ed by statesmen south of us as likely to be In the mind of his intimate friend and party colleague. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. In that message Mr. Roosevelt said : RIGHT TO INTERFERE "Chronic wrong doing, or an Impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilised society may, in America, as elsewhere, ultimately re quire intervention by some civilized na tion, and In the Western hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an inter national police power. "It is a mere truism to say that every nation, whether in America or anywhere else, which desires to maintain Its free dom, its independence, roust ultimately realize that the right of such independ ence cannot be separated from the re sponsibility of making good use of It" The trouble is that wtule the foregoing philosophy will be approved as applying to backward countries like Ilaytl and Santo Domingo, It is resented by proud and developed nations like Chile. Argen tine and Brazil, and even smaller coun tries whose civilization and culture has reached a development as advanced as our own. South America would prefer that 'he American republic should enter into a regional understanding about affairs on this hemisphere and that the Monroe doc trine shall be understood as applying merely to European interference and non-colonizing as -originally phrcsel by President Monroe. RESULTS OF LOJte DEBATE They never will agree to a blanket reservation giving the United States alone the right to Interpret -he doc trine. They are much more likely to Insert reservations of their own reaerv:m; the right to be consulted and to dissent from any interpretation of the Monroe doctrine by the United States or any other power which threatens their terri torial dignity, political independenas of sovereign rights. Thus are the effects of protracted de bate in the eenate disclosed. Europe la disappointed over Amer ica's delay. ..Central and South America Is sus picious. . - - Some declaration by the senate and executive branch of the government on the true direction ot our foreign pol icy, will be necessary before the trust reposed lq us during the recent war will be restored.
