ORIGIN OF MONROE DOCTRINE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 It is pleasing to learn that D. B. Grace seems to think the Monroe Doctrine should be con- tinued as an American policy. As to who sug gested the policy it is immaterial. Samuel FL liott credits John Quincy Adams, the then Sec retary of State, as being father of the thought. It is likely that the idea was conceived in the fertile brain of this great scholar-statesman, and that the same met acquescence by the Brit sh government with the thought of blocking European rivals in the Western Hemisphere. Only seven years before this time, England had failed in an attempted conquest of the United States. And if she had decided the grapes were sour, her clergyman-historian George R. Gleig, who was present at the burn ing of Washington, and at the battle of New Orleans, tells the. reason why in his book, Campaigns in America" Says he: "To pene- trate up the country, amidst painless forests and boundess deserts, and to aim at perma- nent conquest, is out of the question America must be assaulted only on her coast. Her har- bors destroyed, her shipping burned and her seaport towns laid waste, are the only evils which she has reason to dread" The objects of the British expedition against New Orleans, even after an armistice had been signed, can be understood by reading from thls chaplain historian. Read his words: "That the failure is to be lamented, no will deny, since the conquest of New Orleans would have been the most valuable acquisition that could be made to the British dominion throughout the whole western hemisphere. In possession of that post, we should have kept the entire southern trade of the United States in check, and furnished means of commerce to our own merchants of n- calculable value."
 At the treaty of Ghent, after the war of 1912, the British delegates contended for New Or leans as neutral port, and free navigation rights for themselves on the Mississippi river. In this they were defeated by Henry Clay, one of the American delegates, who refused to sign such treaty in the face of threats to renew the war; R. D. GOSS.

FOR ONCE A VICE PRESIDENT
 IS WIDELY QUOTED

It is seldom that Vice Presidents speech creates as much discussion as the recent address of MT. Coolidge, in which he praised the League of Nations, although guardedly. MT. Coolidge is being commended for what the St. Louis Post Dispatch calls "the first public recognition by a member of the Harding administration of the value of the League of Nations, as concept and ideal of international cooperation for jus- tice and peace"
 Mir Coolidge, like Secretary Hughes, Judge Taft and other eminent republicans, has fa- vored the League of Nations, but so far as the administration is concerned, it has been carefully ignored. When MT. Harding gets rid of some of his present troubles-if he ever does he may try to carry out the prediction pledge to create workable association of na- tions to promote peace. The arms conference treaties are all right as far as they go, but they don't go far enough.
 In the meantime, the League of Nations with more than 50 members, is functioning and needs only the active participation of the United States to become a powerful factor in main taining peace. Eventually we will have to join this league or form another one, unless we are prepared to stand by and let the world go to de- struction, dragging the United States down with it.

 While the knowledge that the war resulted in a greater greed for learn ing in the younger generation, rather than causing demoralization and friv- olous living has proved gratifying to the Germans there is a disturbing factor in that "kultur" studies have suffered declining fascination. Com pared with the figures for 1914, the present statistics for universities show decreases in the enrollments for Evangelical and Catholic theology and for philosophy and philology.

Instead, she seemed to be perfectly beautiful; in fact, SUI pefb in her regimes, and wearing her magnificent jewels like flowers, Her face had nothing of the pictured severity. but radiated the kindliest of smiles as l passed and curtsied.

 "The court was everything I had imagined 1t would be in pomp and grandeur, but throughout 1t all there was n wonderful human note. The king and queen seemed delighted to welcome us. Of hauteur there was none; in fact, the manner in which the queen and Princess Mary kept chatting and laughing during the in- tervals seemed to indicate that the members of the royal family were enjoying themselves as much as we were.
