...with England or Japan. These factors being taken into consideration, a suggestion from the United States that war be stopped merely by the assumption of moral responsibility was not the thing to make foreign politicians chortle with delight. And when one realizes that unless the Constitution, is amended, that document alone makes illegal any higher check on the power of the President and Congress to make war, the situation seems rather hopeless...
...increase the value of Italian paper money until it should stand at par (TIME, Sept. 13, 1926 et seq.). Admission that this policy is impracticable was shrewdly avoided by Il Duce up to last week, when he found a way to mask failure behind a dazzling cabinet decree.

These writings, which include diaries, letters, addresses, state and war papers, have been arranged chronologically by Author Osborn, and connected by concise, impartial passages to facilitate transition from one document to the next. The whole effect is admirable, and the book has at least one advantage over an autobiography in that the element of self-interest, so often so obvious, is pleasantly lacking...
