PREFACE
Since the outbreak of the World War public interest has been absorbed in world affairs to an unprecedented degree. Never before have such ambitious and constructive plans for the intelligent ordering of the world's affairs received the active attention of responsible statesmen. All the great nations have been brought to a realization of a common unity of interest in the perfection of a just and effective settlement that will endure.
America is no exception. But the traditional indifference of our people to international affairs makes their intelligent participation doubly difficult. The importance of a wider interest in the study American foreign policy is therefore apparent. The Monroe Doctrine, the principles that underlie it, the conditions that gave it birth, and its relation to our present problems, is the logical point of departure for those who would prepare themselves to grapple with the larger problems of the world. To aid those who desire to make a study of this policy is the purpose of the present syllabus.
In the readings that are suggested the writer has attempted to keep in mind the most available materials, and those that would be most useful to the general student. For chapters VII and VIII the writer is indebted largely to his colleague, Dr. Graham H. Stuart. In the last two chapters, many of the matters covered are in a controversial stage, and an effort has been made to open up all sides of the major question involved. The writer will cordially welcome suggestions and criticisms that will make the syllabus more accurate and helpful to the beginning student of international affairs.
