Assuming the correctness of Mr. Root's corollary, it is our duty, to ourselves and to them, to cooperate in preventing, where possible, specific conditions where we 34 might have to become in too great a measure accountable. We diminish our responsibili- ties in proportion as we bring about improved conditions. Like an insurance risk, our risk decreases as the conditions to which it pertains are improved. I most confidently assert that, under the Monroe Doctrine in its ultimate analysis, the . ...Heaviest and most matter-of-fact responsi- bility that to-day rests upon the United States is that we should respond to the needs still . Felt by some few of our Latin- American neighbors in their progress toward good gov- ernment, by assisting them to meet their just obligations and to keep out of trouble. We wish to see them prosper, and their prosper- ity, by reflex action, is felt not only by us but by all the members of the American family. The proposition is not novel; it has been practically wrought into shape and 35 proved successful in the experimental case of Santo Domingo, which, as we have seen, had begun to cause us concern so long ago as the time of our Civil War.
