BY HELENA
Today I am going to insert a quo-
tation in place of my column.
The quotation is one that should
.9130 [author to everyone who is in-
terested in the Latin-Aliloricuii sit-
uation because it will help to clari-
fy our views ’on what we ought to
do, and what we have it right to do.
in the problems that front us in our
Latin-American relations.
This “Declaration of the Rights
and Duties of Nations" was adopted
by the American Institute of Inter-
national Law, which is composed of
the leading international lawyers of
all the North and South American
nations. on January 16. 1916. and is
based on decisions of the English
courts and of the Supreme Court of
the United States. it follow-:
“1. chry nation has the right to
exist and to protect and to conseno
its existence; but this right neither
implies tile right nor justift- the
act of the state to protect itself or
conserve its cxistenco.by the com-
mission of unlawful acts against in-
nocent and unoffcnding states.
"2. Every nation has the right to
independencein the sense that it has
a right to the pursuit of happiness.
and is free to develop itself without
interference or control from other
states. provided that in doing so it
does not interfere \vitll'or violate
the rights of other states. »
All Nations Icons!
"3. Every nation is in law and
before law the equal of every other
natloii' belonging ‘to‘the society of
nations. and all nations have the
right. to claim and. according to the
Declaration of Independence of the
United States. ‘to assume among the
powers of the earth the separate and
equal station to which the laws of
nature and of nature's God entitle
theln.’ ‘
"4 Every nation has the right to
territory within defined boundaries
and .to exclusive jurisdiction over its
territory. and all persons. whether
native or foreign. found therein.
“5. Every nation entitled to u
right by the law of nations is entit-
led to have that right respected and
protected by all other nations. for
right and duty are correlative. and
the right of one is the duty of all
others to observe.
"6. International law is at one
and the same time both national and
international: national in the sense
that it is the law of the land ind
applicable. as such. to the decision
of all questions involving its prin-
clplcs:
that it is the law of the society of
nations. and applicable as “such to all
questions between and among the
members of the society of nations
invoking its principles."
These principles of international
law. laid down by our own courts.
t udo toward Latin-American na-
tions which have adopted interna-
tional laws not harmonious with our
political ideals or economic policy.
But there are those who contend
that the maintenance of the Monroe
Doctrine rises above internment“
law. if the two conflict. and that the
right of self pragmatlon under the
‘crnmcnt.
international in the sense'
would seem to set a clear course for:

opinions.
to quote such a dis-
~flllgulsllcd authority as Elihu Kent
on the real meaning of the Monroe
Docl rint‘.
Monroe Doctrine Interpreted.
in his opening address. as Presi-
dent of the American Society of in-
ternational Law. made at its annual
meeting in \Vashingion April 22.
19”. Mr. loot said. in part:
“The Doctrine is not internation-
al law but rests on the right of self-
protectlon. and that right is recog-
hired by international law.
"it is a declaration of the United
States that certain nets would be
injurious to the peace and safety of
the United States and that the Uni-
mil States would regard them an un-
friendly.
"l'hc scope of the Doctrine is
strictly limited. It concerns itself
only with the occupation‘ of torri-
tory in the New World by European
powers to the subversion or exclu-
sion of a. pro-existing American gov-
It has not otherwise any
relation to the affairs of either Euro-
pean or American states. In good
conduct or bad. observance of rights
or violation of them, agreement or
controversy. injury or reprisai. coer-
cion or war. the United States finds
no warrant in the Monroe Doctrine
for interference."
We constantly hear the argument
made by those who do not likeilie
land laws, oil regulations, political"
systems. social regulations or roll-
gious practices of the various Latin-
Amorlcan states that.thclr laws are
in violation of our accepted Amer-
ican principles of government, and
we are therefore justified in inter-
fering with their conduct. .
Conceding that their policy and
r .uduct clash.witll ours at fillies, the
closing declaration of Elihu keel.
in this same speech. ‘points out
clearlythst this is no justification
for interference on our part. He
said: .
i‘orrects False Conception
"A false cont‘rp'tion of what the
Monroe Doctrine is. of what it' de-
mands and what it. justifies. of its
scope and limits. has invaded the
public press. and affected public
opinion in the last few years.
"Grandiose schemes of national
expansion invoke the Monroe Doc-
trlne.
"Interested motives to compel
Central or South American countries
to do or “strain from doing some-
thing by which individual Ameri-
cans may profit invoke the Monroe
Doctrine.
"Clamors for national glory from
minds too shallow to grasp at the
same time a.senso of national duty
invoke the Monroe Doctrine. .
"The intolerance that. dementia
that control over the conduct and
opinions of other peoples which is
the essence of tyranny invoke the
Monroe Doctrine.

difference between lawful right and

Monroe Doctrine is a. warrant for

Council’s Approval
Not Necessary For
Lyons T flake Until
The district commissioners have I
the power to fill vacancies in the
first. second and third wards and
not the common council. thus \Vll-
lfnin Lyons will become councilman
from the first district as soon as the
office is declared vacant by the coun-
cil at its.spcciul meeting. Wednes-
day. ‘
This power is‘vesicd in the coun-
cil in an amendment to the charter
passed at the session of the state
legislature in 1921. The amendment
is known as section three of special
act 334.
if the office formerly llt‘ld‘ by
Councilman Clarence Buttery had
been declared vacant at the last
meeting of the 'council. Mr. Lyons
could have taken the oath of office
and assumed his seat in the council
without the appointment having
been approved by the council.
When the office is declared vacant
Wednesday evening, Mr. Lyons will
simply be sworn in by L‘ity Clerk
Stephen Dekus.
The amendment to the charter
reads as fell .5;
Sec. 3. m®§n fifty -five of said
not is amende‘u v adding at the end
of said section the following: "Pro-
vided. it a. vacancy occurs in the of-
fice of councilman from the first.
second or third ward, such vacancy
shall be. filled by the commissioners
of the taxing district in which the
same occurs. and provided the man-
ner of filling vacancies as described
herein shall not apply to vacancies
