...approved by the late Mr. Bonar Law in calling a general election. Throughout, Mr. Baldwin based his protectionist policy on empiricisms calculated to prove that his policy was the only one which was capable of ameliorating the hectic economic troubles of the day. "We know how many industries depend on partly manufactured goods and raw materials ; we shall take no step without consultation with those industries. If any monopolies result they will be monopolies at home, and we can deal with them." More remarkable than his policy was the improved tone of his oratory. No longer did he stress...
London taxis are painted a sober black, and are notoriously slow and tedious. Like their French counter parts most of them depend on one or two cylinder motors of ancient vintage, often so small that they defy discovery in times of trouble. But the yellow invasion will change all this. It must not be expected that any New York promoter will be satisfied to send only five hundred taxis to so promising a field for exploitation as London. And since New York taxis reach their maximum efficiency only when manipulated by New York chauffeurs, one must expect a proportional exportation...
Just how critical the cotton shortage will prove, will depend upon consumption as well as production. Consumption for 1923 is estimated as 630,000 bales less than in 1922. Actually, we have so far this year exported 283,499 bales more than we had last year at this time, and consumption for 1923 may exceed the 12,000,000 bales estimated. On the other hand, the high retail price of cotton goods has already caused a partial buyers' strike, which of course cuts down consumption by spinners of the raw bale cotton. While mills will continue to buy even...
...Stage Guild in Boston cannot do its job unless the desired public seeks the Peabody Playhouse even at a little inconvenience and, one by one, lays its dollar on the sill of the box-office. (For so modest and considerate is the price.) As obviously, the Guild cannot depend upon the ordinary playgoing public hereabouts. Otherwise, "regular" theatres would be housing "Ambush" and "March Hares" Little interested in so serious, sane, unselfish an undertaking are the highbrows by trademark. Encouragement in word, support in deed, must come from that younger public which would take its pleasure in the theatre...
...more equliable law, which would also avoid the necessity for such ambiguous action as that of Secretary Davis, would make the entrance of each individual immigrant depend on a personal examination, designed to show the applicant's fitness on grounds of physical mental, and moral fitness without regard to the country from which he comes. This would undoubtedly entail a larger personnel of examiners, and examiners of bigh calibre; and to avoid the present inhumanity of sending back unlikely prospects, the examinations would have to be held on the other side. Certainly the difficulties are great but unless some such...
