American battleships back Monroe Doctrine, says Navy secretary
Washington December 25 The contention that the Monroe doctrine is dead is countered by history and current needs. A. I. Cadman, secretary of the Navy League, asserts that Mexican fear of European powers would prevail within thirty days without American battleships backing the doctrine. He recalls Civil War-era tensions with France and Austria and credits U S naval power with preserving Latin American independence and borders. The navy’s presence, he argues, has prevented Europe from seizing territory or dictating debts in regions like Nicaragua and Santo Domingo, sustaining the American republics' integrity and future independence.
