The Monroe doctrine, as announced
by President Monroe in his message to
congress in 1923, was a simple state
ment of the attitude of this country
toward the South American republics
Henry Clay had made an effort TO
have the independence Of these repub-
lies recognized, and in 1892 their inde-
pendence was acknowledged by con-
gress. President Monroe had recalled
John Quincy Adams from the court OF
st. James to become his secretary or
state, and many historians credit
Adams with the authorship of the mes
sage, in which the doctrine was stated
as follows:

The war has brought the peanut
into its own. Before 1914 peanut oil
was almost unknown as an article OF
domestic manufacture and thousands
Of gallons were imported every year
from countries that grew no peanuts,
although the South was producing mil
lions of pounds and capable of in
creasing that production almost in
definitely. But in 1917 the output Of
peanut oil had so increased that It
ranked third among all the vegetable
oils made from homegrown products,
