FTYOR OOR1 L THE ONLY OFFICIAL SUMMER NEWSPAPER VOL. VIII. No. 24 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1917 IiIICE FIVE CENTS PENNY DISCUSSES "ISOLATION" FOLLY Says Popular Notion of Term Has Caused Considerable His- understanding BELIEVES NOTION HAS CHANGED This is the sixth of the series of articles by Stuart H. Perry, editor of the Adrian Telegram, which were first printed in the Telegram and in the Detroit Free Press. VI. THE DELUSION OF OUR "ISOLATION" Isolation from the rivalries of other powers has always been popular with many of our people, but there is no one word which spreads more misun- derstanding. There are two kinds of isolation-the imaginary kind that we have talked about so much in the past, and real isolation which until recently faced us in the future In the early years of our national life we were actually in a state of political isolation. It was possible in those days, because we had no inter- ests outside our own borders It was not three'thousand miles of water that protected us, so much as it was the fact that no European power had any motive for disturbing us. But as our strength, wealth and am- bition grew, our isolation diminished. We saw clearly that we were destined to spread across the continent to the Pacific ocean, and we were determined to gua'd our future interests as a great continental nation. By the year 1820 our isolation had ceased, and from that time we have in effect been in alliance with Great Brit- ain for the purpose of preserving American and British possessions in this hemisphere and preventing any encroachments by other powers. Monroe Doctrine Started Things This arrangement started with the famous Monroe doctrine, which was suggested byreat Britain almost ex- actly a centry ago. England sug- gested it because of the advantage of having the United States in effect guarantee British interests on this side; and we supported it because of the equally great advantage in having the omnipotent British navy stand be- tween us and the dangerous powers of Europe.
