THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.

Mr. Hughes, speaking on the cccasion of the centenary of the Monroe Doctrine, declared the present United States conception makes the Doctrine applicable to all non-American Powers whether In Europe or Asia and opposes the acquisition of territory by the transfer of dominion sovereignty or any means. He reiterated that America steadfastly adheres to the Open Door policy in Chiza and respecta China's integrity.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.

on the State Secretary Hughes, in the coarse of an address Doctrine, outlined its history and explained how the policy harmonised with other policies of the nation, including the open door and integrity of China and the Far East. He declared the United States emerged The United from the War with the same aims as they went in. States, though victors, did not seek territory or general reparations, but desired to see France prosperous and secure, with wounds healed and just demands satisfied, and Germany united and prosperoas making amends to the full extent of her power. They wished to see the fires of hatred quenched. The United States still opposed alliances and refused to commit themselves, in advance in unknown can- tisgencies. They reserved judgment to act as sense and duty per- mitted, and requested fair and equal opportunities in in mandated ter- Ther ritories, as the Allies acquired them through American aid desired to co-operate in peaceful settlement of questions which were justifiable. The United States would shortly seek to negotiate a series of most-favoured nation treaties with Latin American nations. not for preferential treatment but for equal opportunities with any other Power-Reute..

THE SHIPPING BOARD.

Washington, Dec. 1.

The report of the Shipping Board, presented to Congress, ad- vocates State subsidies in order to ensure maintenance of an Ameri- can merchant marine. It points out the serious disadvantages of the system of Government operation compared with private opera- tion, from the standpoint of efficiency and economy. The Board is continuing its policy of retrenchment, and has reduced its payroll. The past year yielded G330,000,000, including, 145 steel fessels of $73,000 tons, and 237 wooden ships of $55.000.

AMERICAN MAIL STEAMERS.

Washington, Dec. 2.

The Postmaster Gemprol's annual report strongly appeals to American pablic opinion to sustain his department's policy of en- couraging the use of American ships by assigning to them, whenever practicable, American mails going abroad. He pointedly accuses the foreign postal administrations of withholding malls from American vessels in favour of their own ships and declares the. American Post Oce gives preference of twenty-four hours to American vessels and forty-eight hours if a postal organisation Arried. He asserts American vessels obtala practically no westhow mails.

Wash.tztus, Dec. 1.

The annual report of the Secretary for War urgeatly warto against the squnteet houtting of the Army budzet and declares the Aray is not chip cut below vital needs, but increased appropriationa for national defence will soon be tecessary, saing to the consumption of war stocks. The total namiets under military traluing er in m'il- tary organisations have decreased since 1921 from 519,000 to 504,000. Again he recommends the earliest increase of the enlisted strength of the regular Armp, from 125.000 to 150,000, and declares that with less Isolation than ever before, the United States is in a state of un- preparedness comparable only with Germany among the great nations. The costs of the War and Navy departments are roughly 14 per cent. of the total Federal Budget of 34,000,000,000, but only 6 per cent. mes toward parely military activities.
