...idea of what we should be. If I could change England at all I should pray that she recognize a little more the really splendid cultivation of Americans and not be, as Englishmen are inclined to, so patronizing towards "barbarous" Americans. Your question ought really to be turned around. Why don't Englishmen visit America? Enough of us go abroad as it is. If the English would come here instead of going year after year to Scotland, or the seashore, or France for their vacations, they would learn to admire us as we admire them. I have...
Sirs: What I don't like about England, since Mr. Sydney Walton of London wants to know, is the way every Englishman gets around sooner or later to saying: "Now about these War debts. We're perfectly willing to cancel what the Italians and French owe us. Why don't you Americans join us in canceling War debts all round? Let's all forget the War!"

...good President must have a good Press.-U. S. POLITICAL PROVERBS. A fortnight ago, guests at the White House were Mr. and Mrs. Adolph S. Ochs of Manhattan.

Careful not to blame Congress too early in the session and talking over its head to the lobbyists behind the legislators, President Hoover had "deplored" the dissension among the farmers themselves, urged them to compromise their differences. Senator McNary was blown around to President Hoover's view, but his committee voted eight to six to ignore the President's objections and argue out debentures in full senate. President Louis John Taber of the Grange, good Hoover friend though he was, said: "Our opinion as to the workability of the debenture...
...monthly Comfort reaches 1,226,330 homes. His dailies in Portland (the Press-Herald and Express} and Waterville (the Sentinel} dominate. Working quietly as always, Mr. Insull intrenched himself early and deep. But his operations eventually awakened such utility companies as the Boston Edison to look around and consolidate, to form the New England Power Association and other companies, to employ such brains as Graustein of Graustark to fight Invader Insull and mine New England's White Gold themselves. Hydroelectric Minute Men, they set out to meet Mr. Insull with his own weapons. He had newspapers. They...
