STILL TO THE GOOD. (United Press Service) Washington, D. C„ Dec. 27—(Special to the Daily Democrat)—Positive declaration by Secretary Lansing that the Monroe doctrine still carries force that has left it unchallenged for four decades, marked the first session of the Pan-American scientific congress here today. Warm acceptance of the doctrines of Pan-Amoricnnlsm featured the address of the Chilean’Ambassador Euardo Saurez, chairman of the congress. “The Monroe doctrine is the national policy of the United States; Pan-Americanism is the international policy of the Americas,” Lansing said. “The motives are to an extent different; the ends sought are the same. Both can exist without impairing the force of either. And both do exist and I trust ever will exist in all their vigor.” MASONIC CALENDAR FOR WEEK ENDING JANUARY 1 Tuesday, December 28, 7:30 p. m.
