Excerpt from Brazil, the United States and the Monroe Doctrine: Article Published in the Journal Do Commercio of Rio De Janeiro, January 20th, 1908
The importance of the article we reprint from the columns of the great leading newspaper of Brazil, the Jornal do Commercio, of Rio de Janeiro, lies chiefly in the assertion it makes, accompanied with historical evidence, that fifty-nine days after the reading of President Monroe"s celebrated Message of the 23rd December, 1823, the Brazilian Government issued instructions to its Representative in Washington to propose to the United States an offensive and defensive alliance on the basis of that Message, acting on the principle that it was not in accordance with reason, justice and right that sacrifices such as those which the United States undertook to make for the other American Nations should be accepted gratuitously. This article is generally attributed to Baron do Rio Branco, the Foreign Minister of Brazil.
