...discussion, which aroused all Rome, hinged upon whether the Opposition would take its seats during the next session of Parliament. Because of the Matteotti murder (TIME, June 23, et seq) and because Mussolini will not dismiss his Fascisti militia, the Opposition declared it would not sit in Parliament. Whether or not the Opposition takes its seats is an irrelevant point hardly worthy of discussion. The Fascisti, according to the provisions of the new electoral law, have a two-thirds majority of the seats and can, therefore, pass any measure which has Government support...
...something of his former splendor. This was "Little Bill" Johnston, holder of the national championship in 1915 and 1919. He deposed Harvey Snodgrass, 1923 winner of the Newport Casino invitation singles and, paired with C. J. ("Peck") Griffin (his former national doubles championship partner), seemed about to dismiss two other Californians, the omnipresent Kinsey brothers, from the doubles. That match had gone ding-dong for four sets and nine games when Robert Kinsey, on a stretching "get", was crippled with cramps, had to default...
...less than the highest standards of public virtue will fill the crying need for a leader of the sound morality of the American people. A tried prosecutor of corruption as well as the ablest man in public life is your Chief Minister of State. Balance your reluctance to dismiss the Attorney General by withdrawing as a candidate and send Mr. Hughes throughout the country as the leader to preach the high principles that have made him and the party great. In this way you will place the country under a lasting obligation to you and give a noble example...
...change of methods; but the accuracy of this generality can hardly be established by the facts. A majority of the secretaries have been men trained by their collegiate activities for executive and managerial positions, and are consequently well fitted for their posts. It would be a grave mistake to dismiss these men at the end of a few years of service and chance the possibility of obtaining others less suited to the work, for the sole purpose of keeping alive that almost mythical, most intangible thing known as class spirit; which after all, is merely a relatively superficial expression...
Again, there is no denying that the world has been filled with lies and misleading propaganda about Soviet Russia. But can we dismiss the whole body of information and misinformation now at our disposal as an unqualified parcel of lies? In his chapter entitled "The Poison Gas Attack" Professor Ross lists forty nine stories as absolute lies and attempts to refute them by ipse dixit declarations, sarcastic comment, or by demonstrating them to be illogical (surely a risky business). False they may be, in part or in whole, but flat statements unsupported by proff or authority can bear little weight...
