The Monroe Doctrine as Seen from Europe

The leading article in the November Atlantic Monthly, written by an English journalist, Mr. Sydney Brooks, considers the “Monroe doctrine” of the United States, and declares that “to Europe that edict is the most domineering mandate issued to the world since the days of imperial Rome.” Americans, he says, greatly underestimate the feeling in Continental Europe over this doctrine, and still more greatly underestimate the chances of actual conflict with Europe “when the Old World feels a definite necessity of finding an outlet in South America for her emigrants.”
