Plans for the compilation of American historical data were under discussion Saturday at the first “plen- ary meeting” of the American history commission of the Knights of Columbus at the Willard Hotel, with Edward A. MoSweeney of Boston presiding. The commission was instituted to make research into data for the pur- pose of presenting historical works in this country under pure American ausplces without any ‘“propaganda shading.” One monograph on “The Monroe Doctrine,” by Thomas H. Mahony of Boston, has already been issued and others are scheduled to follow during the coming year.
