ACQUISITION OF TERRITORY
HYDE PARK, July 6. President Roosevelt, in a statement made through his secretary, Mr. Stephen Early, renounced any territorial aspirations for the United States and implemented his world peace aspirations with a proposal for a postwar territorial adjustment which would be achieved by continental or hemispheric consultation. The President, however, issued a warning to Germany to keep out of the Western Hemisphere, suggesting that any Western Hemisphere claims of Germany be handled through all 21 American countries. Mr. Early said there was an absence of any intention whatever to interfere in any territorial problems in Europe and Asia. "What this Government would like to see and thinks should be applied would be a Monroe Doctrine in effect for each continent in each part of the world," he added.
