Ambassador explains the Monroe Doctrine in Britain
London. Walter Mines Vinge, the American Ambassador, told the annual dinner of the Association of Chambers of Commerce that the United States has no intention to interfere with British investments in Central America. He said the Monroe Doctrine means the U S prefers no European powers gain land and that American policy seeks to prevent foreign investors from gaining control of these states. The ambassador jokingly noted the Panama Canal was not built for Britain, but that the United States would profit most from its use.
