If the United States should decide to annex
Canada Alaska on the ground that the Mon

Great Britain and Russia from tho North Ameri-

same steps if the Monroe doctrine had never
been formulated or thought OF. The Monroe doc

ruan and it will not help the redskins conqueror
when his comes" But it's probably Joke
and George Bernard will explain the point later
