This meant that the Roosevelt good neighbor policy at last faces a severe test -and one brought to a crux by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Under the Monroe Doctrine it is not permissible for Britain to intervene with arms and protect her interests in Latin America, but the same doctrine also carries an implied obligation that the U. S. must keep Latin Americans from doing anything that might be considered provocative by Europeans. Thus if Honduras should order every Lithuanian within its borders decapitated, Lithuania would expect, while keeping the Lithuanian Navy at home, that the U. S. Navy & Marines...
Long-standing differences between England and Eire seemed settled last week when Britain's House of Commons endorsed without a vote Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's recent negotiations with Eire. Only opposition to Negotiator Chamberlain came from chubby, die-hard Tory Winston Churchill, who objected to withdrawal of British forces from the three Irish treaty ports of Cobh (Queenstown), Lough S willy and Bere Haven, who loudly wondered if Prime Minister de Valera was really a friend of England.

...chief difference with de Valera's party, joined with the Prime Minister's Fianna Fail supporters to vote approval. One diehard, James Larkin, Dublin Laborite, spoiled a unanimous vote. "The payment of $50,000,000 to Britain is a compromise," groused Laborite Larkin. In London, Prime Minister Chamberlain, busy last week with another neighbor, France (see p. 15), is expected this week to set in motion his machinery for parliamentary approval of the accord...
