TIIE ME88AGE INT ENGLAND
II.I.ISTHATIM; THB FACILm WTTH
WHICH NATIONS MISTNHKIt
BTAKD EACH OTHKK.
London, Decetnlier 20.
Tiie publlCRtloa of th? Trepldrnt's Menpnge was
nccompanled hy a sharp fail of tamperaturs la
the aoclal atmosphera whlch Amoricana wero
brenthing ln London. On th- m irnlng of ita np
peaakBCe la prlnt manners were braaqOS, t-mpera
uncertaln, vol ea tremulous wlth irritatlon. The
Knjrllshman paaaed hls Amerlcan ncqualntanee
ln the atreel with u ahrug of the shoulders and a
diatant nol. In the clttbs the American vlaltor
was starcd at as an lrresponslble peraon to whom
hospltaUty and recognltlon had been vouchsafed
ln an unguarded moment wlthoul adt.qunte ln
vestlgatl n. Jf an American were breakfasting
or lunching ln a corner of a restaurant. he was
foreed to hear the Veneztiela queation dlsctiased
wlth heated partlsanshlp nnd the actlon of I'resi
,i,-nt cieveiand condemaed as an electtoneerlng
manoeuvre?a valaax exblbltlon of "Jingo apread
eaglelsm." John Bull wsa angry on that flrsl
day and dlsposed to be both dlsputatlous and
quarrelaome. He was convineed that the Preal?
dent of tho Unlted states had want only affronted
the dlgnlty ,.f tii.. Brltlah Empire.
The Brltlah Hon, whlle roaring fiercely when
ever lt ??? attacked. is niso n medltatlve beast. It
was not long before tiie Knglishman wsnted to
know what all the trouble was about. Untll the
Mesaage w.is published he had not eoncerned hlm
aelf about the Venezuela question. All that he
knew about ii was tliat there had been a dlepute
ef long atandlng over a boundary llne. Then
there was th, Monroe Doctrlne, Th? Engllshman
did not profess to understand it. lt waa a eurlmis
Yankoe notion Invented by one of the early
Amerlcan Presldente. it waa flrst proelalmed in
a Praaldantlal Meaaage, and the American* were
alwaya taik'ng about it, eapedally ln a poiitlcal
Oanvaaa; but it did not have the forc^ of lnter
natlonal law. It dld not enter into the serloiis
dlplomacy of European natlons. It was a form of
Jlngoism - a seatter-brain expedlenl for twlsting
the llon'a tall and for worklng up the Irlsh vote
in a Prealdentlal eanvsaa. These wera th<> hazy
notlona prevslllng among Engllshmen when they
were auddealy atartled by th.- Meaaage of th,-ir
favoiite Amerlcan atataaman, wh ?m th'-y had
been peralatently applaudlng and flatterlng for
i: ven yeara, and who had rewarded their adula
tlon iy auddenly turnlng upon thc-m and thrtat
ening to make war upon them over the Venezuela
qui st'.on and the Monroe Doctrlne.
Naturally th- Engllahman wanted to know
more about these mysterles of the Amerlcan eon
tlnent. Lord Baltabury*a dlspatch oa the Ven
ezuela-Oulana dlspute was avallable slmultan
eouely with the Meaaage, and it was eagerty read.
The Engllsh ttile to Britlsh Qulana was derlved
from eonqoeat Of the DutCh Fcttlements, anl
reaUy - atended s >me distance up the Orlnoco,
but iii 1S1'? Mr. Schomburgk had survcyed a Iln,
whlch had become the Irredudble mlnlmum ot"
occupatlon and possesslon. Nothing wlthln that
llne could be aubmltted tf arbltratlon, although
Venesuela had not aanctloned his boundary sur
vey, and had reaaserted ln that year its riRlits t? >
terrltorlea Btn tchlng as far aa th.- Eeaequlbo, and
the Engllah .-laims lo dlaputed landa toward the
l irlnoc . now iii the poasessl m of tiie republlc had
never been wlthdrawn anl were stlll pendlng.
This was the Britlsh CSSe as explslned by the
Foreign OiTlee, and in tiie haiKlishnian's vlew it
was Irrefutable, and ih,-:.- waa nothing more to be
said about it. Mr. Chamberlaln hsd talked the
matter over with the Oovernor of m-itish Qulana,
and Lord Sallabury had bei n maklng researches
in tlio archives of Bpaln and Holland, and Mr.
Olney had been misb-d by evldence drawn from
Venezuela onJy! There was nothing to arbltrate
?at least, nothing inslde the Schomburgk llne.
IGXOHAXi'E OP TIIE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Havlng madered the Hritish side of the Vc-nez
nola boundary dbrpute?Whleh, Of course, was
the only portlon of tha easa worthy of serious
attentlon?the English searcher after truth at
; tempted to inform hlmaelf with equa". thorough
nea* respeetlnaj the Monroe Doctrine. Lord
Ballabury'a maln dlapatch dealt with lt in a nega
| tive way, ahowlng that It had n > hearlng upon
the Venesui la boundary, that it was not Inter?
natlonal law, that it had never before been
Introdueed by the Ameriean State Department,
und that it oid not amount to anythlng, any
Way. Neajatlv* Informatlon is never wholly
satlsfactory to a patient Investlgator. Whlle
Lord Ballabury'a reaaonlng aeemed plaudbMand
even unacowerable, it did not tend to throw
: much light upon the Monroe Doetrine, about
which tbe Americana had been talklng for aev
, enty yeara.
The Prerident'a Me***ge, when the Eagllah
reader had recovered from his flrst attack of
Indlgnatlon Bufflclently t.. be able to examine it
i eritlcally, aeemed o> Inrolve absoluta dictation
' to a European Power. England bad deeiined to
i submit the Venesuela caae to arbltratlon; and
! Hr.-sid.nt Cleveland had recommended the ap
1 polntment of an Ameriean Ooinmission to flnd
| out where the boundary really v.-as. When it
j ahould be dlacovered, as the Engllshman read
I tho M'ssage, the Americana would be ready to
' flght t'> keep the English on their own slde of lt.
! If this were the Monroe Doctrin*, ns the Eng
Ibthmon looked at it. it licenscd th* Unlted Btat**
i to insult Europonn l'owers and, under threat of
' war, to make demand* whlch no self-respecting
natlon eould oeeept without humllatlon and dis
grace. Surely the i'nlted .^'iitcs had not been
the aole orbttrator of the western hemisphere
dnc* the time <?f James Monroe without a pro*
ted from some quartcr! Presldent Cleveland
must hav* ov*r*t*ted or ndaapplled the Monroe
Doctrine in some way.
So lt rame to paaa that. with the rlso in tem
perature after the fraedng day on whlch the
Mecaagje *aw the llght in England. many an
Ameriean was OOked to explaln what the Mon?
roe Doctrine really was. The answers were
:?.d,ftldy as varlotts as the oplnlona of thoae who
gave them; but one of these repUe* is worth re
peatlng, not. perbapo, beeause lt is in any sense
an authorltotlve atatemenl of the coa*, but be
(ru- it v.as Intelllglbk t.? the Quedloner, and
no, only dlenced. but aatldlcd him. This quee

Now, thal la Bhapty the Monroe Doctrlne !n an

Thia quotatioB, it must be repeated, is not
introduced because it is in any BCnse an BU
thentle ezptsnatlon Of the Monroe Doctrlne, but
merely becauae it served to satlafy the perplexed
Engllshman, who wus anxlous to understand
what Americans meant by sasertlng some form
of BUpremscy >.r proteetorate i:i the affalrs of the
western bemlspbere. He underatood this ex
planatlon, and remsrked that it eeemed Bngliah
and senslble, and thst Americans hsd after all
tho common blood of the old stock. Possibly if
the Monroe Doctrlne w<re more frequetitly pre
sented ln an equally practieal way -or better
nt ni. if less atfentton were pald to the tradl
tlonal pbrasea and more str, ss lald upon the
materlal Intereata nnd paramount Importance of
the Cnlted States In the Amerlcan .pherS Of ac- J
tion?it would be more Intelllglble to BuTopeaaa
generally.
BELF-INBTTTUTED ARBITBATION.
Hut there is one thought which the Knglish
man even In his most reflectlve mood abeolutely
refuaea to eatertala, and that is the poestblllty
of havlng any frontler of the Brltlah Empire
eatabllahed by dlctatton from another Power
under tlnvat of war. He will not oonslder it
even for the sake of the srgument lt is a mat- j
ter of Indlfference to hlm whetber this is tha old
Monroe Doctrlne or the new Cleveland Doctrlne;
he will not toli rate nn aaaumptlon wbleb he oon
Btders degradlng to a self-respectlng Siate. lf
Prealdent Cleveland appotata b Commlsslon and
it aaaumea after mature dellberstlon t,> dla
COVer the rightful frontler, Kngland will pay in,
attentlon to the JudgmenL lf any portion of
Brltlah Qulana be found on the wrong Blde of
tliat boundary when dlscovered. an Amerlcan
army will have to be sent to the swamps of ihe
Olinoco and the Besequlbo to dlapoaaeas the
oi eupants Force wlll have to be employed and
war declared In order to glve effect to that Jndg
ment. Arbltratlon which is aelMnatltated by
the Vnlted States will be resented angrily as
arbltrary dkrtatlon, and it win amount t<> noth?
ing unleaa followed by war on huni snd ses.
That is tii- Ungltsh posltlon as expllcltly defined
by every important joiirnal In London snd the
provinces. It is easily underatood. It. is Hkely
to remaln onsltersbla and to recelve permanenl
Ktiropean sanction. Americans ought to under?
stand the Knglish sttltude respectlng Prealdent
Cleveland's Arbltratlon Commlssion, even if
thelr own Monroe Doctrlne ls not Intelllglble to
the Knglish th'-mselves
For lt is true that the English do not und"r
stand the Doctrine itself nor appreclate Amer?
iean feeling respectlng lt. They have read Lord
Salisbury's reply to Feoretary Olney's dlspatoh.
and utterly fai! to oppredata the Intenae Irrita
tion which his cyntcal nnd contemptuoua treat?

was first proclalmed Buropean Powera have
been extendlng th. ir conqoeat* and multlplylng
tix-ir colonlal dependendea In Aala, Afric* and
tha Bouth Be**, and during that perlod, wlth the
slngle exoptioti of the Hritish encmaehments
upon Veneouela, not one of them has Increaaed
its territorial holdlnga on the Ameriean conti

the force of Internatlonal lav, but it has been
raapected as an Ameriean tradltlon, and has
been sllently opemtlng tO maintaln and perpdU
