This is the heart of the whole question. but there are others .which would necessarily have to be considered. Are we ready to abandon the Monroe doctrine and to leave it to other nations to say how American questions shall be settled and what steps we shall be permitted to take in order to guard our own safety or to protect the Panama Canal? Are we ready to have other nations tell us by a majority vote what attitude we must assume in regard to immigration or in regard to our tariffs? These are lesser points. but they must be met and answered before we commit ourselves to permitting an association of nations to control in any degree the forces of the United States. If we insist upon the Monroe doctrine. do you imagine that the other nations of the world are going to permit us with our vote and our power to say what shall be done in Africa.
