CUBA FAVORS THE
MONROE DOCTRINE
H avana.—G eneral G erardo Machado,
president of the Cuban republic, de
clared th a t it was not w ithin the prov
ince of the Pan-A m erican conference
to assum e the role of a tribunal to
Judge the N icaraguan problem or the
general policy of the U nited S tates
with respect to intervention In sm all
states, as th e congress has no such
rights. It would be dangerous, he said,
to establish such a precedent.
"1 desire to regard the Monroe doc
trin e as representing the noble action
of a president of the U nited S tates
who prevented the reconquest of
A m erica a t the tim e of the holy alli
ance. The Monroe doctrine was, and
ought to rem ain the common defensive
policy for th e territo rial Integrity of
A merica. The Monroe doctrine is not
only com patible with the sovereignty
of A m erica below the Rio Grande, but
is a docum ent giving th e g reatest
force to th at right.”
Cuba’s m em bership in th e league of
nations, said the president, does not
influence Cuba's adherence to Pan-
A m erican union. He believed th at the
conference would be able to accom
plish a b e tte r understanding between
th e countries of A m erica In the way
of reciprocal aid, m aking such union
a m aterial and m oral benefit for true
Pan-Americanism.
