Show Not Debatable Long-winded statements concerning con-cerning possibilities of Japan and Germany setting up "their own imitation Monroe Doctrines" seem to answer none of the questions. Secretary of State Hull took the short cut when he advised Hitler that the American Monroe Doctrine Doc-trine is not open to discussion that it means just exactly what it says! That was a straight shot, because be-cause the Monroe Doctrine is a chip on Uncle Sam's shoulder which Europe and Asia are warned warn-ed they must not attempt to knock off. Secretary Hull understands under-stands the difficulties of the western hemisphere and he is using all the forces of the Monroe Mon-roe Doctrine to hold the 21 American Am-erican Republics together, even though some of them are ill-mannered and mostly anything except good neighbors. This solidarity appears ap-pears to be for our own sake as well as for the Latins. |
