Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Monroe Doctrine: The Vital Necessity of Its Continued Maintenance An earnest consideration of the Monroe Doctrine and a sincere appreciation of what it means to the United States is more imperative now than ever before. There are at least four reasons which have prompted the Knights of Columbus Historical Commission to publish a monograph upon the "Monroe Doctrine" as its first offering to the American public. First: The declaration to the world contained in the Monroe Doctrine that the United States would not permit any non-American nation to intervene in American political affairs, and Washington´s policy of American non-intervention in non-American affairs have been the keystone of our foreign policy since this country has had a foreign policy. These complementary principles which have controlled our relations with foreign powers have made the United States the great and powerful nation which it now is. The Monroe Doctrine, at all times, merits the most important thought of this country. Second: The League of Nations Covenant, which was repudiated by the people of this country in the national election of 1921 has been adopted by the allied and victorious powers. That covenant provides in Article XXI, that "Nothing in this Covenant shall be deemed ti to affect the validity of international engagements, such as treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like the Monroe Doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace." Some of the American nations and Canada, are members of the League of Nations. Disputes arising between such American nations or between any of such American nations and any non-American nation, under the terms of the Covenant are within the jurisdiction of the League of Nations. Just how far the League of Nations might go in effectuating any League decision rendered in such a dispute is a question. Recently Bolivia requested the League to consider a revision of the Bolivian-Chilean treaty of 1904 covering certain territorial boundaries of Bolivia with reference to Tacna and Arica. Chile protested that any such action by the League would be a violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The League took no definite action, and after considerable objection Bolivia withdrew her request.
