Barrett and his men got up typical admen's charts which graphically analyzed the bitter truth. In the last 14 years of Los Angeles County's tremendous (47%) growth, the Republicans had managed to win only 4% of the new voters. In the last two years the gain was a microscopic one-fifth of 1%.

Russia's eagerness to grab industrial equipment might get in the way of her more important program of political expansion.
