...consequences of his speech last week were more important than the speech itself. The first reaction to the speech signally failed to show what those consequences would be. The comments of public men might for the most part just as well have been written before the Smith speech as afterward, so neatly were they divided by the line of pro and anti-New Deal feeling...

Senator suggested that since Britain was unable to pay her War debt in cash the Empire might. prefer to dis charge its obligation by ceding the British West Indies to the U. S. in part payment.
