This Is undoubtedly true and it is probably the best illustration, all in all, of the American passion for democracy.

Ordinarily, the govermnent of the United States has little concern with such an event.

The President's theory is that adequate armament will prevent war.

Speaking of this, Orval W. Adams, former president of the Amer-lea-n Bankers' Association, says: The government's policy of Steadily lowering interest rates is out of all reason.
