FORCING HUERTA
TO RETIREMENT
Washington, D C. Nov 21. Con
vening of the Mexican congress and
Huerta's reading of his message are
regarded b officials hero as merely
carrving the situation one step further
and not as events which forecast an
immediate action by the United States
The view here is that each day add-
to what administration officials re
gard as the steadv and gradual dlsltv
teration of the Huerta regime.
The official Mew that should the
congress act on English oil concea
310ns pending, sue n acts win oe re
garded as Invalid not only by the Uni
ted StatfB. but bv GreAl Britain.
A perfect understanding is said to
have been reached between Londoa
and Washington
Inasmuch as foreign governments
generally have signified their assent
to the American policy as thus far
outlined It Is being taken for granted
here that so far as the nations of the
orld are concerned, the New Mexi
can congress may legislate as It will,
but its acts will not have intemaUon
al sanction as the constituted la
making body of the republic.
While no positive steps are being ta
ken and no action of a summary char
acter so far aa known Is planned, the
disposition of high officials is to
await the slow but what they deem
Inevitable process Of forcing Huerta to
retire.
There was no cabinet meeting to
day but the pres'dent saw Secretaries
Garrison and Bryan and Acting Sec
retarv Roosevelt of the Navy A dis
patch was discussed from Rear Ad
miral Fletcher concerning asylum for

which to do all their class work. The
only perrons present with whom he
had associated, he said, were Pro

and the memory of the old days were
very dear to him. He spoke In par
ticular about the Acorn," the school
periodical of which he was the first
manager. He said that the name

unanimously adopted. The name, he
continued, had a special significance
in that it meant a "small beginning
with great possibilities" and so had

MONROE DOCTRINE
Should Remove Idea That

Worcester, Mass . Nov. 21. Charlef
H. Sherrill of New York, who was
American minister to the Argentine
from 1909 to fill, was among the
speakers at the afternoon session of
the Pan-American conference here He
said
"In this hemisphere, the twentieth
century will sooner or later come to
be known as the century of the south
erner. Already clear evidence is be
ing shown of the 6teady. strong, ten
dency which must, unless diverted er
dissipated by some historical cala
clysui. write this title across the cen
tury on which we have entered
Viewpoint of Southerner.
"And any man concerned in public
affairs who does not take Into account
the viewpoint of the southerner, ha
no claim to statesmanship and does
not deserve the confidence of his fel
lows "I believe, and I affirm, that we
have almost always sought to be not
onl.. just In our dealings, with those
republics, but also have tried to do
vnat we thought was best for them.
But why have we so persistently, o
tznorantly. so blunderingly disregard
ed their viewpoint, eeu carelesslv ne
glected to 6tudy It
Broaden Monroe Doctrine.
"Suppose affairs should take so se
rious a turn in Mexico that either 10
forestall an armed intervention there
by some European power seeking to
defend its citizens, or else to perform
, like service for some citizens of our
own hemisphere it finally became ne -essary
under the terms of the Mon
roe doctrine that tho United States
intervene, 1 would suggest that we in
vite Argentine or Brazil or some oth
er American country' to join with us
What would be the result of such an
Invitation? If would have two marked
I tendencies, both of which would be
highly desirable: First, it would en
tirely remove any Idea amonc ou
I South American neighbors that our
! purpose was land grabbing Secondl;.
lit would free our gm ornment from the
persistent importunities of indlvidu
,ils and corporations urging Interven
tion to hmefit their own pockets.
"It would be the best and most con
vincing form of Invitation to Latin
America to participate equally with us
in tho responsibilities and develop
ment of the Monroe doctrine. The
doctrine would at once become con
tlnental. and cease to be unilateral,
which Is today its one great defect."
Would Abandon Monroe Doctrine.
Dr Tucker urged the abandonment
of the Monroe doctrine.
The v lew s of the r.outhern repub
lics themselves." he said, "should bo
onsldered. The present proteetorate
Idea of the United States Is very dif
ferent from the acceptable service
rendered to the Iatln American coun
tries ninety vears ago If the Mon
roc doe'rine is asserted to any fur
ther extent, the Catholic spirit and
not the Infiamed ten per of the Jln
golst should be brought to the settle
ment of the difficulties. Even thoso
South Americans who do not fear our
Imperialism realize the selfishness jf
the Monroe doetr'ne. and It makes
them citslike us and mistrust our for

"Consequently, by maintaining this
uational shibboleth and adhering to
the words "Monroe doctrine.' we di
minish our possible Influence for good
In the eastern hemisphere and we In
tcrfere with the growth of our for
eign commerce. We owe it to our
selves to give up the word9 Monroe
doctrine ' and to adopt a policy of
Pan American defense w hich will en
able us to secure the friendship and
support of our neighbors iu the west
ern hemisphere, which will Increase
our Influence for good among them,
and will remove any nandlcap in tho

"1 believe WO can safely trust the
handling of the present Mexican situ
