MONROE DOCTRINE
BELONGS SOLELY
To UNITED STATES

The American representatives at
the Pan-American congress did moth
ing new in declining to have the Mon
o doctrine made a part of a Pan
American treaty and insisting upon
maintaining it as the peculiar doctrine
and policy of the United States.
That was the worthy and honorable
principle of John Quincy Adams, who
had more to do with the creation of
the doctrine than any other man., and
who insisted that it should be ours
alone, and not a joint affair with
Great Britain. "It would be more
candid as well as more dignified, |"
said the great secretary of state, "to
avow our principles directly to Rus
STA and France than to come in as a
cOck-boat in the wake of the British
nlan-Of-war." 1t was in fact our own
act. in which the South American re-
publics were not consulted, and there
is no reason why now, after a hun
dred years of successful and benerT-
cent maintenance of it, single-handed
we should take any other powers into
partnership.

demand DETAILS in
STATE FUND REPORT
Delegates Resent Accounts
ing Given by Treasurer
at TOday's Session

| A heated discussion of several min
utes' duration followed the reading by
Clarence c. Scarborough of his re-
| port as treasurer of the state fund
at the second business session of the
American Legion convention at Odd
Fellows hall this morning, In his
report Mr.. Scarborough placed much
emphasis on the work this branch has
done within the past year but did
not mention in figures the number of
cases treated or the amount of money
expended.
E. I. Alexander of Meriden inn
mediately rose to the floor and ques-
toned Mr.. Scarborough as to why a
more detail report was not presented.
He expressed the belief that the men,
bers of the legion had the right to
demand detailed report from this
department. Nh. Alexander then
moved that Mr., Scarborough be
obliged to present detailed report
of the operations, of the state fund
at the business session of the conven-
tion tomorrow incoming.
Mr.. Scarborough stated that it
would be Il physical impossibility to
prepare a detailed report by tomor-
row but said that he might present
a more general report. On motion
of a Morris Burr of Westport an
was made to the motion
OF Mr.. Alexander that MIR. Scarhor- |
ough prepare a more general report |
of the operations of the state fund |
to be presented at the meeting tomor-
row.
James Skelly of Norwich stated |
that now is the proper time for the
delegates to secure the information
they want about the state fund from
the treasurer. He said that there
are many who do not join the legion
because of the state fund business
and 1t is up to the delegates to learn
he actions of the state fund opera
ions at this convention so that they
will be able to tell other ex-service-
men that 1t should be an inducement
o join the legion.
William Russell of Fairfield also
'esented the report as read by Mr.
and was active in pass
ng the motion that general report
'e submitted. Others expressed their
ointment and on counting the vote
was necessary for the chairman TO
axe a standing vote

having the power to do so to actually
bring this man back and make him
