...government that she believes wisest and justest. She respects their sovereignty as she expects them to respect hers. France rejects utterly the idea of wars of propaganda and wars of reprisal. The causes of war that weigh on the world are already heavy enough without France wanting to add to them with a doctrinal crusade, even for ideas that France believes right and just, even against systems that she believes false and evil...
...greasy grind, and no compromise about it; that a prof under forty-five is a fellow who couldn't make a business success in the boom era, while a prof over forty-five is a harmless oracle . . .", et cetera.

A leg injury forced Defending Champion Wilmer Allison to withdraw his entry. The rest of the seeded players included Jacques Brugnon and three young Frenchmen performing in the U. S. for the first time to gain experience; that coterie of second-flight U.
