DEFENDS MONROE DOCTRINE.

Prof. La Tane Upholds America's Dictum to the World.

(By Associated Press.)

MADISON, WIS., July 21.--In an address to the University of Wisconsin today Prof. John A. La Tane of Washington and Lee University defended the Monroe Doctrine in replying to a recent attack on the Doctrine by Prof. Wheeler of Yale.

"Critics of the Monroe Doctrine have called it the will-of-the-wisp of American politics but in spite of attacks it stands today in the words of President Roosevelt as the cardinal principal of American policy.

"We have taken a hand in the policies of the orient and seem destined to take a hand in its development but it cannot logically be maintained that this will lead to our interference in the domestic concerns of any European state, or give any European state any pretext for interfering in the domestic concern of any state of this continent."
