Freedom of the Seas. There was a moment's stillness in the House and Senate. Then, from the Democratic side, came a subdued burst of applause. The Republican side kept silent. They had heard ringing words-words that recalled the messages of Woodrow Wilson in 1917. But they had expected something more.

In a burst of uncorighteous indignation last week Philadelphia museum folk joined the newspapers in attacking the Cohen Bill as an attempted tax dodge by Wideners and Mellons.
