While the "regular" Republicans were preparing a list of issues for the next campaign, Senator Borah, the leader of his own one-man bloc in the Senate, had something to say about the next election. Into a speech at Akron, Ohio, he ventured to inject two sentences-by a little rhetorical device dating back to the Roman Re- public-two sentences that caused no little stir in political circles. "I do not turn aside to discuss," said he with studied innocence, "third party movements. Such a movement is not impossible, not even improbable." This declaration he made in a speech...

Secretary Hughes made his statement in response to an appeal from the Women's Committee for Recognition of Russia.

In the course of time he has rolled up a considerable following, mostly among the ladies. To such a body Secretary Hughes has just been obliged to make one of his periodic explanations as to why the government did not recognize Russia. With his customary courtesy he repeated the facts that Russia has repudiated international agreements, has confiscated private property has vowed to carry into all other...
...revelation like this does not help anyone to believe in Senator Borah's medicine for the suffering world. The fact is that Communism is Communism and Capitalism is Capitalism and the twain will no more mix than oil and water. Russia realizes this therefore it has vowed to make all nations "one red". Our government has no desire to associate with a nation which is doing its best to undermine...
