MONROE DOCTRINE
Oil December 2nd, 1823, President James Monroe,
arose before Congress and delivered his annual mes
sage, which has now become the famous Monroe
Doctrine.
After the Napoleonic Wars in Europe had ended,
the reactionary powers instigated by Matternich, form
ed the Holy Alliance to restore old monarchies and
empires wherever they were threatened by the
sweev of French ideas of liberty, fraternity and
equality.
Spain wanted to get control of her recently re
volted colonies in South America. Russia wanted to
expand in the North Pacific.
Monroe spoke: "The occasion has been judged,
proper for asserting, as a principle in which the
rights and interests of the United States are in
volevd, that the American continents by the free and
independent condition which they have assumed and
maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as
subjects for future colonization by any European
powers . . . With the governments who have declared
their independence and maintained it ... we could
not view any interposition for the purpose of op
pressing them or of controlling in any other manner
their destiny by any European power in any light
than a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition
to the United States.”
In pursuit of this policy, known as the Monroe
Doctrine, the French were asked to withdraw from
.Mexico, where, during the Civil War, they had set
up a monarchy, with Maximillian on the throne.
President Cleveland also cited the Monroe Doctrine
as justification for demanding that the boundary dis
pute between Great Britain and Venezuela be settled
by arbitration for the protection of Venezuelan rights.
Almost 128 years have passed since President
Monroe spelled out the policy which has so long
preserved and protected this continent against the
encroachments of European powers. All but the last
15 of those years have seen a strict observance of
Monroe's common-sense doctrine.
Today, however, we are faced with new problems.
The late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, with his
grandiose schemes of a world community of nations,
saw fit to discard the principles that had so long
held our shores inviolate. While we are in no im
mediate danger of foreign powers seeking to colon
ize our states, we are in grave danger of assuming
the yoke of European and Asian government.
We refer to the outmoded treaty laws which
permit ratification of agreements with foreign pow
ers by the Executive and two-thirds of the Senate.
So long as this nation chooses to enter into
treaty agreements through the United Nations, we
shall be in constant jeopardy of government by Soviet
Russia and her satellites.
It is not that Russia is able to dictate our laws
and national*pollcies, but that she is able, by means
of her veto power, to nullify any international agree
ments entered into by our delegation to the United
Nations.
So long as our law provides that treaties shall
supersede the acts of our Congress and the legisla
tures of the several states and Territories, we will
remain shackled in our foreign affairs — free to act,
only at the pleasure of Communist Russia.
It is time that the Congress review our treaty
laws with an eye to the basic aims of the Monroe
Doctrine. Although our outlook in the matter of
foreign affairs has long since outgrown the confines
of the Western Hemisphere, our fundamental task of
preserving American ideals and ideologies remains at
home. Idyllic are the dreams of the happy family
of nations — but they are still just dreams. Until
they materialize in the years to come, we are obliged
to keep America American in policy.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round

ners and that the $248,000 to “Lo
pez" was paid for police protection.
The T-Men, including Ralph
Read, intelligence agent in San
Francisco, Dan Goodykoontz, intelli
gence agent in Los Angeles, and
Walter Campbell, chief counsel in
San Francisco, came to Washington,
recommended prosecution of gamb
lers Marvin Kovey, Albert Kogus,
Harry Rockwell, and Phil Cobert,
partners in Guaranty Finance.
In Washington, they conferred
with various high Treasury offi
cials, including Assistant Commis
sioner Bolich, who has been seen
in the company of gambling-king
Frankie Costello; also with Charles
Oliphant, Internal Revenue coun
sel. and W. H. Woolf, head of the
intelligence unit.
But, though the case seemed air
tight, the Treatury, for some
strange reason, let it drop. Mean
while in Los Angeles. California
state authorities, impatient with the
F. dcral government, proceeded to
prosecute officials of the Guaranty
Finance Company on another
charge and put them behind bars.
No one has ever been able to
find out why the Treasury was so
mysteriously inactive. Maybe GOP
members of the King committee can.
BOX 1952
The voting public doesn't realize
it, but, while the American people
elect a president, they do not nom
inate.
In Philadelphia in 1948, Demo
cratic delegates churned in the lob
bies, chafed at their helplessness,
wanted to nominate anyone except
Truman, ended up voting for Tru
man. They were tied by jobs, ma
chine leaders, and the party whip.
This has been true of other De
mocratic conventions for 12 years,
plus some Republican. Delegates
get pledged months in advance.
They pick what they think is the
band-wagon, and jump on it. It
also takes money to corral delegates.
In fact, getting nominated is now
big business—and the voters don’t
have much to say about it.
In an effort to bring nominations
back to the people, however, the
Washington Merry-Go-Round will
conduct a presidential public-op
ininn poll—beginning with the Re
publicans. Later, there will be
Democratic Poll. Here is how you
can participate:
1. Send a penny post card to the
candidate you favor, care Box 1952,
Washington 13, D. C. This may be
the last time you can send a post
card for one cent.)
2. II. for instance, you favor Eis
enhower, address the card to "Gen.
Eisenhower, Box 1952. Washington,
13. D. C.," and on the reverse side
write: "I'm for you in ’52." Or, if
you're for Senator Taft, Gov. War
ren c/ California, or any other GOP
candidate, address the post card to
him, care Box 1952, Washington 13.
3. Give your name and address.
Your name will not be published,
but it's important to give it. Ringers
and anonymous voters are not w ant
ed.
4. Give your present political
party. This too is important, be
cause in next year’s election a lot
of people may cross party lines.
