...John Graham Brooks, of Cambridge, will speak on "The Significance of the Award of the Coal Strike Commission," at a conference of the Social Service Committee in the parlor of Phillips Brooks House tomorrow evening at 7.30 o'clock. The conference will be open to the University...

If the seizure is allowed in this case, it will establish a precedent which will allow seizures in all cases where there has been an award.

It has been further shown that the very money award may be collected without actual war; that no nation should take this expensive method of satisfying a debt unless the land were desired for an entering wedge and lastly that the practical difficulties and serious consequences would be so great as to threaten the very existence of the South American...
