Excerpt from The Monroe Doctrine: An Obsolete Shibboleth

What has been attempted is to sketch the growth of the Doctrine, to indicate the obligations and disadvantages it entails, and, more particularly, to portray the atti tude toward it, and toward us, of our neigh bors to the south. I have also suggested, very briefly, the outlines of a new policy. It is evident that the problems which are likely to arise in the future will require something more than the mere negation of outgrown doctrines.
