The Monr)

WTHEN President James Monroe delivered
w his annual message to Congress in De-
cember, 1923, he used SO pages of handwriting
to cover the major issues of the day. Of this
total, two separate sections. totaling in all
about one page, have become the cornerstone
of United States policy in this hemisphere.
The statement of policy. historically labeled
the Monroe Doctrine, was described at the
time by Thomas jefferson as the most impor-
tant since independence.
Even today, over century later, Jefferson's
estimate may well be correct With CastrO's
Cuba provoking an East-West conflict, and with
Khrushchev trying to extend Red domination
to the island, the Monroe Doctrine has once
again come to the center of the political stage.
At the time of its prOnouncement, the Doc
trine was aimed at thwarting the twin menace
of Russian colonization on the west coast and
Spanish attempts, backed by the Holy Alliance
of Austria, Russia and Prussia, to regain con-
troll Of colonies in South America that had
successfully rebelled The Doctrine was
brave manifesto indeed, because there was
little then the United States could have done
to enforce its keep-Off warnings. But President
Monroe had the tacit backing of England, and
the British fleet The combination Of United
States and British power effectively deferred
further colonization in the New World. By

with the tips of the bulbs at
the following depths: tulips, six

face; hyacinths, four inches; and
narcissus six to eight inches.
In clay soils you should reduce
the depth of planting by about
two inches, although crocuses
and snowdrops can be planted
two inches deep in all soils.
Fertilizer is not usually need
ed in good garden soils. If it's
used, it should be mixed with
the soil before the bulbs are

succeed Josiah Marvel ,Jr., chair
man of the Democratic State
Committee, as secretary of state
will have his name submitted
to the State Senate for conf1r-
nation early in the legislative
session, Mayor Bacon said.
Two bills concerning muni-
cipalities in the state, lost in
the rush of legislation at the
General Assembly last year, are
being revised for presentation
at the outset of the l08th ses-
sion in January, proponents in
dioated recently. One Fourth of

Time to Store
Garden Tools

It's time to store garden tools,
insecticides and seeds for the
winter.
Mr.. Robert F. Stevens, exten-
sion horticulturist, University of
Delaware, has some tips for
proper storage,
Garden tools, such as hoes
and shovels, should be cleaned,
sharpened, and fabricated to
prevent rust. Tools given good
care this fall will make the gar
dener's job easier next spring.
Garden seeds should be stor-
ed in a cool, dry place.
Mr.. Stevens advises storing
dangerous chemicals, such as
insecticides and fungicides, in a
cool, dry place beyond the reach
of children. They should also be
labeled as an added safety pre-.
caution.
