Although copybook long sine have disappeared and the school system seem to have omitted the R" from reading, writing and 'rithmetic, tha truth of tha copy lines remains indisputable. One line, time bring changes," continues to be basic fact and it applies to nationa as well as individuals. If proof were needed as to the truth of the adage, recent developments at Havana, Cuba, surely can be used. The conference at Havana, In which the United States and 20 other American republics participated, brought into being an agreement whereby all of the nations in North and South America, excepting Canada and the possesiions of European nations, will work together in defense, military or otherwise. It was a meeting that must be placed in large print in history because it told the whole world that the Monroe Doctrine still exists and will be enforced. The Havana conference was notable and historical in another way. It established for the first time, as a policy of the United Slates, a de- - Value of Agreement Ia Highly Controversial There are many objections possiU statement re pec ting thia new treaty arrangement None can foretell whether thoeo objection have merit or not Nor can anyone in thia day say with certainty that tha pnK gram will guarantee either peace or war. In moit arguments that wa hear In Washington discussions, claims that appear aound are advanced both for and against tho value and general merit of the Havana treaty. The thing wiU have to be studied and will have to be ia operation for a time, I believe, before anyone can make an unequivocal atatement whether ita advantage! outweigh its disadvantages, or whether the reverse ia true. To get back to the copybook line that time brings changes," it may be pointed out properly that the United State has bound itself to defend all of South and Central America. It may be laid, moreover, that the Havana treaty expands the Monroe Doctrine beyond any of tha original meaning of tho atatement made by President James Monroe. Or, it offers ground for argument that tha United States ia taking upon Haelf the guardianship of all of the America, ainca it la a fact that the United States navy la tha only navy worthy of a name in aQ of the Western hemisphere. ble Fate of Small Republics Has Become Very Important These changes have taken place. Of that, there can be little doubt But there remains the condition that confronts all of tha nations of North and South America.
