It has long been thought that a project

plan would give the musical organiza

work together which it is not possible
to have i.vben each organization gives
a concert separately. Several different
masterpieces have been suggested but
the one which seems to have met with
the most favor Is the opera "Esther."
This is a work with a religious strain

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Says that the Traditional Policy of Isolation which the United States
Has Pursued in the Past can no Longer be Maintained—A Mon
roe of the World Advocated
THE MONROE DOCTRINE
By Dr. A. E. Mtirtht
10f the Dept. of History and Economics)
Editor's Note: The COLLEGIAN has
arranged with Dr. A. E, Martin to run
two special articles dealing with the
much ulcerated League of Nations and
its connections with the Monroe Doc
trine. the first article appearing in this
week's issue. The second will be pub
lished next week)
The cost of life and property of the
present Great War has impressed Upon
us. ns never before, the need for the
establishment of a new International
order that will either prohibit entirely
or greatly lessen the possibillties of the!

Wilson and the leading statesmen ih
America and in Europe that the solu
tion of this problem. which has baffled
the diplomats of the world for hun
dreds of years. Iles in the creation of
some form of super-state. commonly re-
ferreit to as Tile League of Nations,
in connection with Its practical reall-1
aatinn numerous and grave problems
present themselves: and because of our
Monroe Doctrine and our traditional
policy of isolation. to no one of the ;
Great Powers Ito they appear more
formidable than to Ile. It Is the par
pose of these articles to examine the de
velopment of the Monroe Doctrine and
our pulley of Isolation In reference to
the essential features of the proposed
League of NIIIIOII9 with the idea of de
termining as far ON possible the prob
able effects of the creation of tits
League upon nue traditional policies.
The policy of isolation itud the Monroe
Doctrine are two phases of American
Diplomacy so closely related that few
histerians draw any distinction between
them. Of the two policies the former
is tile older. as it originated during tile
(host presidential administration. In Ills
famous "Farewell Address," while warn
ing Ills countrymen !Whine,. "permanent
(dlinnees," Washington expressly said
that we might "safely trust to tempor
ary alliances for extraordinary emer
gencies." (Even at that date an alli
ance with France existed.) Further than
this, in a subsequent paragraph, be
giros the following reason for his op
position to permanent alliances: "With
me a predominant motive has been to
endeavor to gain time to our country to
settle and mature Its recent institutions
and to progress without interruption
to that degree of strength and consis
tency piaci) nometary , ,,to give to ,it.
humanely speaking, the command of Its
fortunes." Thus while Washington ad
vocated a policy of Isolation, he did
not wish the United States to refrain
indefinitely from the exercise of its
due Influence in matters that properly
concerning the Puce and welfare of the
nations of the world.
Entangling Alliances
A little later. Thomas Jefferson in
discussing the intermitional situation
laid down the general principle that it
was unwise fur the United States to
embroil itself in "entangling alliances."
Nevertheless he was no more averse
to temporary alliances than was WILSII
- Upon learning of the transfer
of Louisiana from weak Spain to power
ful France by the treaty of San LlAle
fonso in 1300 he said that that net could
"only seal the union of twS nations who
in conjunction can maintain exclusive
possession of the ocean. From that
moment we must marry ourselves to
the British fleet and Nation.—This is
not a state of thing we seek or desire.
It is one which this measure, if
adopted by France. forces on us,
as necessarily as any other cause.
by the laws of nature, brings
on its effect. Both Washington and
Jefferson hod In mind apparently the
form of European alliance common in
their day, which bound ono nation to
support another both diplomatically and
by force, in any dispute that might arise
no matter whether it concerned the in
terest of the first state or not.. Regard
less of the intention of the originators
of this now famous policy, it has, until
recently, been interpreted as meaning
that the United States must hold aloof
from world politics and attend strictly
to its own affairs.
Tile Monroe Doctrine is of more re
cent origin than the policy of isolation.l
it will be recalled that in 1808 the Span- '
bib King was forced to abdicate by
French arms and Joseph Bonaparte was
pieced upon the throne. The Spanish
American colonies, which included at
that time Southwestern United States,
Mexico, most of Central and South
America and the West India Wands,
refused to recognize the new govern
ment. They then organized govern
ments of their own and threw their
ports open to the trade of the world.
At tile close of the Napoleonic Wars, the
King of Spain was restored to ills
throne but his American colonies, Inte
-1 ing had a taste of freedom and a pros
perity which had been unknown to
them before, refused to recognize his
authority. In the tears that followed.
since Spain was unable to reconquer
her colonies, the members of the Holy
Alliance, who sought to maintain peace
in Europe by suppressing nll liberal
democratic movements, were formulat
ing plans to assist Bpain in her at
tempt to crush the now democracies of
the Western Hemisphere and to re
store her colonies to her. This was the
situation in 1823 when President Monroe
after affirming dur policy of isolation
announced to the world that the United
States would consider any attempt on
the part of European governments to
extend their political systems "to any
portion of this hemisphere ns dangerous
to our peace and safety." This doc
trine was nothing more than the asser
tion, with special application to the
American continents, of the right of
independent states to pursue their own
careers without fear of Intervention.
domination or subjugation by other
states. •
Not a Polley of Isolation
Tho policy of Isolation, on the other
hand, is quite distinct from the Monroe
Doctrine and is in fact out of harmony
with the important position of the
United States as a world power. The
difference in principle between the two
policies can perhaps best be Illustrated
by the following suggestion. If the
United States should tarot it permanent
alliance with France placing OUP n:tvy

country, although even she has Objected

with the British volley of free trade.
Our interests have been political rather
than commerciel. In fart we have sadly
negiveted Latin Amerlea WI, a field for
commercial development.
We have mule On honest attempt not ,
only to prevent entirely or to reduce
to the minimum Euroman interference
in purely American affairs, but also to
Isolate ourselves front Europmn diplo
matic controversies. Upon several oc
casions we have officially announced
that we would not use force for the
settlement of controversies outside of
American Unless our material Interests
were directly involved. In a number of
Instances this has preyed a - serious
handicap to American tiVoulacY.
The United States has, nowever, par
ticipated In a number of European or
International conferences which, in the
main, have been concerned with ques
tions of general International interest.
Among those were the Hague Con
ferences of 1899 and 1907 and the
Moroccan Conference of 1905. The
position of the United Stales on these
questions was clearly set' forth by the
American delegates to the Hague Con-
I Terence of 1899 In the note which they
lappended to their signatures to the
final treaty in which they said:
"Nothing contained in this convention
shall be so construed as to require the
United States of America to_ depart
from Its traditional policy of not intrud
ing upon, Interfering with, or entang
ling itself In tile political questions or
policy or internal administration of any
foreign state; HOT shall anythi»g con
tained in the said convention be con
strued to itnply a relinquishment by the
United Slates of America of its tradi
tlonel attitude toward purely American
questions." In the Moroccan Confer
enee of 1905 the American delegates at
tached to their signatures a statement
to the effect that the United States would
assume no "obligation or responsibility
for the enforcement thereof."
Our Oriental Diplomacy
In the Orient, American diplomacy
has had a somewhat freer hand and
consequently has been much more posi
tive than hi thlrOpe. but even there we
have refused to commit ourselves to the
employment of force. It has been our
custom to announce our policy inde
pendently and then request the other
powers to approve it. Upon a number
of occasions we not only could have
secured Sm.:land% approval of our pot
ivies but child have formed an alliance
with her for the enforcement. In the
Orient as in Latin America. we have
mood for the open deer policy. Our
Ile policy as announced by Secretary
May in u note to the Powers July 3,
1900, was no fellows: "The policy of
the govmminent of the United States is

and White Five For First Time
in Many Years
The Penn State basketball team win
he seen In action again on Saturday
night when it wilt meet the live repre
senting Susquehanna University on the
Armory door at 7 o'clock. This game
will till in the open date which was pub
lished some two weeks ago when the
schedule was first Printed in the COL -
I,EOI.I:s7, Negotiations were completed
late last week which will bring the
Susquehanna University live here on
Saturday evening.
The game on Saturday night will be
the first thne in many years that Penn
State has met Susquehanna in the ill
dour ::port. :Many years ago these two
Institutions always met at least once
and neap• times twice during tile course
of a basketball season, but the game
on Saturday night will open relations
, onlin In the basketball world. Susque-
Is a has been seriously crippled this
season On account of the demobiliza
tion of the Student Army Corps which
took nearly seventy-live per cent of
die student body away from college.
The team, however, which will come
Isere will ben veteran team, having
three men from last year's five and the
remaining two are men who were on
last year's 'varsity squad. This fact in
itself will assure a good game on Sat
urday night. Moreover, interest In bas
ketball in exceedingly high at Susque
hanna on account of the small number
of students, and thls sport is the great
ituraction at lids institution. The team
last year had a very successful season
and met several of the stronger teams
of Central Pennsylvania and In several
andances was victorious.
Tim game on Saturday evening will
he the last time the State team will be
,een on the local floor until February
7th. On that date the strong Geneva
College five will come to State College
with a veteran personnel which carried
oft the Western Pennsylvania Chem-
WnushiD last year. There is no doubt
that when these two tennis meet. a
game full of excitement will be staged.
Geneva met and defeated the majority
of the colleges hi Western Pennsylvania
during the 1918 season, which gives
them their claim to the championship of
that section of the state.
Slate is exceedingly fortunate In hav
ing to mune to fill in the open date
which was previously announced for
January 2ii. The State five has seen
action but once during the present sea
son and the game on Saturday night
will nerve to put it on its mettle before
invading the eantern part of the state
beat ueelt.
The team which will meet Susque
hanna on Saturday Will In all prob
ability be the same as came out vic
torious ill the battle with Juniata last
Priday. Ylullan and Ritts will probably
he seen at the forward positions, Wolfe
at center and McMillin and !Olinger
trill probably do the guarding. Tickets
for the game will be 35 cents and will
be on Sale starting tonight.
OM - fraternity League
Tim schedule for the interfraternity
league is now being prepared by Coach
liezdek and Graduate-Manager Flem
ing. The call for representatives from
'wanting nod rooming houses was rather
disappointing, only enough reporting to
warrant the esablishing of six more
teams. which brings the total number
Of teams up to forty.
The schedule calls for games to start
on the first day of the second semester,
January 27th. There will probably be
SIX or seven games which will be played
on that date, and these will continue
until the schedule is completed. The
schedule of games will be posted an
soon as it is completed.

CONVOCATION TO BE
HELD MONDAY NIGHT
Large Class Will Be Graduated at
Annual Mid-Year Commence
ment Exercises
The annual mid-year commencement
exercises will be held in the Auditorium
next Monday evening at seven-thirty.
This semester's graduating class is
larger than any that has graduated at
the mid-year convocation for several
years. The extra, number of men fin
ishing their cout,es at this thne is ac
counted for by the fact that the Senior
Agricultural Chemists took one semes
ter's work last summer and are now
ready to receive their degrees.
No outside speaker has been secured
for the occasion and President Sparks
will address the graduates and confer
the degrees. The fact that there is to
be no vacation between semesters snakes
it impossible for the exercises to be held
at ally other time than during the even
ing and no elaborate ceremonies are be
ing planned. Each dean will present
the men and women from his school
who have finished the required collego
work and the degrees will he confer
red by the president of the college.

Given for Students in Service
To Make up Work Missed
Preliminary arrangements are being
made for the 1919 summer Session for
school teachers, which will be held this

be mole, whei•eby regular winter stn
. dents who have been in the army or
navy. and have consequently missed
' much of their work, will be allowed to
come back and attend the six weeks'
term. In this way, enough Credit will
likely be given, which in some C 0505 will
enable the student to make up a semes
ter's work. Tills of counie. if arranged.
will Oct be permanent. but is under
consideration only as a scar measure.
Among the new courses to Ito given
are the following: rural sociology, by
Professor Bressler, of the department
of rural life; book binding. by Mr. N.
IS. Zane, of the department of Industrial
and line arts; painting. by Prof. Brac

by Dr. Marquardt.
In addition to the inotructora who am
secured from the college faculty. a num
ber of new ones have been added, among

two Important conferences hero; one

workers. During the past summer My
miiiistem attended the sessions, and this
year, during normal conditions, a much
larger number will attend. The other
conference will be for the public school

cators were In attendance.
