...steals 3% columns from my TIME (5% of the current number). And for what good? To babble about eight trivial topics. Let me criticize them specifically. But first let me praise the pattern of each article. Your summarizing The Idea, The Motive and The Story is as compact an editing method as I can imagine. That is truly TIME'S selling point and success. Now criticisms...
Disarmament. The feature of the week was French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand's bid for a new peace compact. In his opinion, everybody is trying to go further in the matter of disarmament than the present stags and temper of European politics will permit. He drew attention to the fact that the Third Commission of the Assembly, which had been studying the problem, has been snowed under by con- flicting compacts, resolutions and covenants.

Thus about 40% of the population is isolated in a compact, race-conscious, difficult-to-assimilate group which is almost totally disenfranchised.

Poincaré was defending his latest budget against the tacking on of a ruinously costly amendment to increase the salaries of all civil...
...properties are conscientiously collected and arranged in about onethird of the book but Author Sinclair evidently got weary of the creative task he had set himself and fell back on bare-faced bed time simplicity when his spirit drooped. It is readable because the legions of sentences are compact and brisk of pace, the characters "stay put" and the antiCapitalistic sermon at the end only lasts a paragraph. Nevertheless, even so ardent a Socialist and generous a man as Floyd Dell must be suspected of gentle hypocrisy when he declares of Oil!: "I can hardly tear myself away from...
