Use the quote below to answer the questions that follow: "In treating of our foreign policy…it is absolutely necessary to consider the Army and the Navy…It is contemptible for a nation…to use high-sounding language to proclaim its purposes…and then to refuse to provide [necessary] force… the goal to set before us as a nation…is the attainment of the peace of justice, of the peace which comes when each nation is not merely safe-guarded in its own rights, but scrupulously [(thoroughly and with good intentions)] recognizes and performs its duty toward others….A great free people owes it to itself and to all mankind not to sink into helplessness before the powers of evil…All that [the United States] desires is to see the neighboring countries stable, orderly, and prosperous. If a nation shows that it knows how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters, if it keeps order and pays its obligations, it need fear no interference from the United States. Chronic wrongdoing…[will] ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States…to the exercise of an international police power."
