Monday afternoons program was
opened with talk given by Prof.
Fletcher on the Mexican Tangle"
Prof. Fletcher sketched history of
!, Mexico and the relations between that
sSnhappy land and the United States. He
I've the history of the Monroe Doctrine
and pointed out what happened when
Macmillan violated that doctrine. Com
menting on the present situation he
ikened the United States to a blind
man, cropping his way thru unknown
paths and criticised the lack of a fixed
policy by which this country should
be guided in it's treatment of Mexico.
He concluded by expressing a hope that
the mistake of 1916 should not be re-
peated and a trust in the American
people that they should never again
feel a desire for conquest but should
treat Mexico with honor and right
stealing.
Miss Hermoine Peterson came next
4Jn the program in her reading, "Polly-
anna" Miss Peterson is very charm
ing young woman and her work was de-
lightful. She appeared again in the
evening in short series Of pianologues
which, were equally pleasing and gained
for her an encore.
The first number on Monday evenings
program was spirited dialogue on the
!, subject Of Military Preparedness. Those
Z fs7osing greater armament won the
/ Mission of the audience as we'll as the
sssealed verdict of the judges but their
opponents were worthy foemen and
lined up goodly number of facts to
prove their contention that this country
will very soon become dependency of
some warlike foreign nation unless we
arm to the teeth, and that at once. The
