Itooscvelt only understood the Mon
roe doctrine, or if he would stop
trying to twist it into n (Hilicv for
making tho L'liiteil States the globe

Cla-.li at Santiago

tween the cx-prcMilent and Dr. Mar
eial Murtincr, former Chilean min
ister to Washington. The incident
occurred during the reception ten
dered Colonel ltoosevelt at the I'ni
versily of Santiago. Dr. Martinez,
who, as well ns Colonel Kooicvclt,
was scheduled In scnk, referred to
the Monroe doctrine us. ohvulete, sav
ing the conditions which caused
President Monroe to promulgate it
in 182.3 had practically disappeared.
To Ibis the colonel somewhat hotly
replied that the doctrine wns still a
vital American principle, suggesting
incidentally Hint it wns not a. very
appropriate time for Dr. Martinez to
start such a controvcr-y. His own
speech, he ndded, had been submit

which found it nil right. Dr. Mnr
liner.' reply to this thrust was "Hint

eitru office nud found nil Tight, too.
Disagreeable Sequel
A disagreeable sequel to tho dis
pute was Hint n number of Central
American students mnde a demon
stration against the cx-prcsident ns
ho left tho capital.
"However," declnrcd Williams, "of
course this government is not worry
ing over anything Itooscvelt does.
He's not our accredited representa
tive, and whatever he snys he says
merely ns a private citizen.
"The big South American coun
tries don't quarrel with the Monroe
doctrine. What they do quarrel
with is Roosevelt's reconstruction of
it to the effect Hint, besides saying
"hands off" to Europe, we appoint
ourselves to the verv office we for

"Much hard feeling undoubtedly
wns felt toward him."
