...Irish Times, Dublin journal, said: " We confess that after a very careful study of de Valera's proposals we are not in a position to enlighten ourselves." The general anti-Republican opinion throughout Ireland is that it is an ambiguous document and needs a good deal of elucidation by de Valera before it can be seriously considered...
...accepted the invitation of the Government of India . . . because I was ready and willing to serve India in any capacity in which it might be thought I might be useful; but I am bound frankly confess that I came here a profound skeptic as to the value and utility of the League of Nations.

...second matter is that of acoustics. This is the simplest problem of all,--though I confess the mechanics of it might shock some of our victims of Harvard tradition.

He has become in the past few years as much of national figure as Babe Ruth and not to be familiar with his name and fame is to confess oneself a shut-in. In his talk here, Mr. Tilden will treat of the game's personal side and tell some of his experiences while travelling about the world on American tennis teams. His subject is excellently cosmopolitan and there is little reason for those who have seen...
