"America for Americans," Asserts
Hitler, so Monroe Doctrine Prevails
By MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
It was Bismarck who called the Monroe Doctrine "a species
of arrogance peculiarly American."
The kaiser was well known to hold the same opinion.
And Adolf Hitler despite of or maybe because of his
'America for Americans" declaration is believed by Americans
to go Bismarck and the kaiser one better.

Judged proper for asserting as a
principle in which the rights
and interests of the United
States are Involved, that the
Amencan continents, by the free
and independent condition which
they have assumed and main
tain, are henceforth not to be
considered as rubjects for fu

con&ider any attempt on their

as dangerous to our peace and
tafety . . ."

tlie German kaiser was constantly
rumored aimiim at netting naval and
coalim bases in Cuba and purchas
hol islands in Ihe West Indies, a
threat in ihe Panama canal.
The famous Piatt amendment to

With the rapid increase in elec
tric service in rural areas in Ore
gon, the national l-H rural clectri-j
flcation contest affords a real op-,
portunity to club members in this
state, says Kverett II, Davis, exten-'
sion specialist in agricultural engl-1
neering.
During (Ik- four years that this
contest has been held, four Oregon
boys have won free trips to the na
tional -I II (dub congress In Chi
cago. . . ' .
"The national -l-H club rural elec
trification contest offers recogni-
tiou and reward to club members
for their study of the use of elec-1
irtcity on the farm and in the farm
home," said Davis. "The state l-H
club office has approved this con
lest and any -l-ll club member may
enter with Ihe approval of his coun
ty dull agent. It is not necessary
that club in em hers have- electricity
on their own farms to compete."
A recent national report shows
that farm families installing elec
tricity use It first for improve
ment of the farm home, and thou
later apply it to farm operations.
Alter installing lights, the most
popular electrical appliances ap
pear to be radios, irons, washing
machines, refrigerators, toasters,
vacuum cleaners, hot plates, and
water system pumps, in that order.
The- group of thirteen boys who
made the livestock tour Into south
ern Oregon returned Sunday. They
were accompanied on the trip by
Glen Cox of Kiversdale and K. A,
Prillon. county club agent.
The tirst livestock stop was made
at Hilt, California, on the Moun
tain Crcvt ranch, where the boys
looked over purebred Hereford cat
te. purebred Southdowns and pedi
greed White Leghorn chickens.
The hoys were shown by Mr.

the entire lower ranch, and were

talking livestock with the group.
He discussed the livestock show
business and went into further de
tail regarding the bundling of live
stock. On the second day the boys weol
to Weed. California, and then to
Klamath county, where they looked
over the irrigated suctions and saw
large acreages of growing pota
toes and oilier agricultural crops.
They were very much interested in
the Irrigated pastures at Fort
Klamath and the management of
those pastures. They camped Fri
day night on (he rim of Crater lake.
During the evening ' they enjoyed
the program put on in the recrea
tional hall, and then Saturday
morning took a walk down to the
