President Roosevelt was aligned
today with Secretary of State Hull

Following German and japanese
discussion of "a Monroe Doctrine
for Europe" and "a Monroe Doctrine

yesterday:
There hasn't been any sign or
evidence of a real or true Monroe
Doctrine in other hemispheres than

Secretary Hull said at his press
conference today that he understood
the statement at Hyde Park was
not intended to define governmental
policy. He pointed out that the
statement he issued here Friday
after consultation with the Presi-
dent did define considered policy
of the Government.
Secretary Hull had declared
that the Monroe Doctrine does not
resemble policies in other areas

similar, would in reality seem to be

The President suggested Satur-
day night that European and Ash
attic nations-each as group-use
the Monroe principle in disposing
of the possessions of conquered
nations.
He proposed that European, Ash
attic and American nations-each
group in its own sphere-consult
and settle territorial problems
among themselves, instead of al
lowing conquering power to make
the decisions alone.
| At the same time, the President
mentioned "the complete absence
of any intention whatever on the
part of the United States to iner-
fere with territorial questions in
volving adjustment in Europe or
Asia"

County Agent Gives Hints
On Improving Pasture

One OF the best means of improving
a pasture at this season of the year
is to clip it with a moving machine.
Did you ever notice that livestock
Craze only on the short grass in
your pasture? The reason for this is
because the short grass is more pala-
table, and contains much more feed
value per volume.
The first four inches of grass above
the ground contain twice the protein
content as that portion of grass from
four 10 eight inches above the ground.
Pasture clipping not only keeps the
grass short, but helps to destroy weeds
thai are harmful to the pasture.
Remember, keep your grass short
and it will keep your livestock fat.
