"In the light of the F.uiopean war it
is simply a dream, becoming, as it
must, more and more difficult of en?

powers." I
Declaring that there could be no per- I
manent Monroe Doctrine without pre?
paredness. Dr. Hart said, in part:
"The Monroe Doctrine has become
more difficult of enforcement because
the Latin-American states resent any
use of force except for their protec?
tion, and partly because the size of
ships has narrowed oceans and brought
American norts nearer to Europe.
"The Mo roe Doctrine a? a coll?e*,

policy of a great nation, backed up by
sufficient force to make It rcspi.led, .t
