Doctrine come to us from the pen OF
Mr.. r. d. CLINTON, a lawyer of Metn-E

pany.I Boston.} In the opening chapter
the author quotes some correspondence
which passed late III 1923 between Cam
ming and Richard Rush, our minister to
Great Britain, at the time., and which
shows that the 'ipitiatory steps which.
led up to the Monroe declaration, We're
taken by Great Britain. The VARIOUS
episodes In our history In which tho
historic doctrine came naturally dnt 9

our policy and attitude in each contin-

Virginia Is to have that permanent cx-

desired, by her active, go-ahead men, 1t
is arranged that It's home shall be In tho
present hall OF the House Of Delegates.
And the nucleus exists in the State ex-

law. will be preserved, as far as prncti-
cable, Eand brought back to Aaichmon1.
There will be no difficulty in filling thu,
hall: exhibits will come In from all quar-
ters. The only trouble will be in making
selections and in giving proper promt-
nance to those which will advertise the
Old Dominion truly as the 8poss.essor Of
