This diminished expenditure is a source of encouragement, and of the opposite. It is in part due to our inability to keep abreast with the program. When we have no ships to send supplies across the water, we have no supplies to pay for. When we do not build ships up to schedule we are saving the expense of building them.

Mr. Russell has established himself so firmly in philosophy that it is not untrue to say that in England today there is a "Russian school." Professor Royce remarked on one occasion, at least, that Mr. Russell's work, "The Principia Mathematica," is undoubtedly the most important work...
