An interesting historical parallel
exists between the current action
OF invoking the Monroe Doctrine
as barrier to totalitarianism In
the Western Hemisphere and
original PRONUNCIATION of the
policy.
The immediate reason for the
Monroe pronouncement was the
revolt of certain South American
colonies from Spanish domina-
tion, our sympathy with their
cause and the prospect of inter-
vention by an Austrian-Russian
Prussian-French alliance.
An underlying objective of this
four-power bloc was ito put an
end to the system of representa-
tive government" a purpose not

can land so that they can have their

they never will break and run as

In line with a zone alta

that any concessions would be

Chamber Digs Deeper Into Poiaio Problem

Potatoes = Alaskan versus oultSid- CTS came up for further discussion at todays Juneau Chamber of Com merce meeting. Having digested the problem for week since the potato controversy bloomed last Thursday. several members were heard on the subject.
 Frank Garnick, local groceryman said it might be possible to grow good carly rose potatoes in Alaska. but that purchasers in his store still seemed to prefer spuds from the States.
 H. L. Faulkner said he had en- countered in his travels people who after digging into a baked potato would say: That's Matanuska po- tato. Take it away. I don't want it." The attorney also said that when he visited the Westward last spring he bought case of Matan- uska canned peas and had them shipped here. He still likes them, Faulkner said, but nobody else will eat them.
 The antis having been heard to- day, the pros are expected to come up with some new arguments on the potato question next week.

The company was incor- porated in 1910 with capital of S3O0O,000 which later was in- creased to S5,0O0,000 Two years later it went into the merger with several other chains of similar stores to form the F. w.

 At Work at 15
 MT. Kirby was born October 90, 1861. at Brownsville, Jefferson County N. Y He attended public schools until he was 15, when he went to work for Moore and Smith at Watertown. On May 27 1886, he married Miss Jessie Amelia Owen of Ogdensburg. They had two sons.
 Recalling MT. Kirby's start in the Watertown store, Charles 5. Woolworth once said: He was a freckled- faced boy, starting to work at wage of S2 week. He was intensely earnest and loyal to his employers and walked two miles to and from work every day, often through deep drifted snow"
 Tough Beginning
 In the first Woolworth and Kirby store in Wilkesbarre the fixtures were rough and unfinished and the counters hemlock blanks with red calico hangings to save the expense of facing. MT. Kirbys desk was an old dry goods box, which he kept for years as a memento of the di:- faculties of his early business career.
 We had to cut corners pretty closely in those days MT. Kirby once said. We were looked down upon by the large merchants at first, and we were not quite sure that the five and ten-cent store 
 business could be made permar- ent institution
 Was Mason
 With financial success assured, MT. Kirby, like his associates, ex- tended his business interests to the lumber industry, banks, rail- road and other utility corporations.
 He was a generous contributor to philanthropic work and liberal benefactor to education. In 1920 he was a presidential elector for War ren G. Harding.
 MT. Kirby was an Eplscopalian and was 32nd degree member of the Masonic fraternity.
