NEW YORK, Aug. 10,
THE renunciation by the United States of the Monroe Doctrine was the startling suggestion made by Senator Key Pittman upon his return to America from the World Economic Conference to-day.
He declared that the Monroe Doctrine as a practicable policy was worn out. It had served a useful purpose in the past, but there was no further obligation on the part of the United States to interfere in the affairs of Latin American peoples
When the Monroe Doctrine was formulated, the object was to pro- vent interference in South Ameri- ca by the European Powers. The danger of those Powers attempt- ing to extend their government in- to Latin America was, at the pre. sent day, negligible.-Reuter.
