A. B. HART, THE MONROE DOCTRINE

A. B. Hart, The Monroe Doctrine, Boston, 1916.

Appears to be an interesting account of United States foreign policy.

Contains a bibliography.

P. 373: the “anti-imperialists” defeated, 1898.

303-04: a table (very instructive) showing the development of the American state 1823-1915. (Growth of U.S. imperialism, etc.).

314: “The most striking change in the conditions of nations is the building up of large units. Consolidation applies not simply to banks and factories and railways, but to world powers.” The next century will see five Great Powers: Great Britain, Germany, Russia, China and the United States (!!)....

Growth of protectorate and “influence” (and of financial interests! 332). The United States in Central America!—332—

N.B. “Fixed policy of protectorates” (335).

 359: Roland G. Usher, Pan-Americanism. A Forecast
of the Inevitable Clash between the United States and
Europe’s Victor

The author demolishes it, but himself defends the “doctrine”... of “protectorates” (369) for the “safeguarding of American !! capital” (369)!!

ΣΣ (402) in favour of militarism!! (N.B.) (especially § 5)—particularly (!!!) against Germany and Japan (403). N.B.
