Apropos of the U. S.'s recently upped naval building program (TIME, July 10, et seq.) and before the British Admiralty retorted in kind (see col. 1), Lady Houston had written for her Saturday Review that Prime Minister MacDonald was "squandering millions on peace conferences" while he let the Empire's defense forces go to ruin. This was only to be expected, she slashed, from a man who, like Scot MacDonald, urged British munitions workers to strike during the War at a time when British soldiers at the front were short of shells. "How can you be secure...
...have usually been certain before the game that their guess would come true. More frequently than not, they were wrong, witness the clash two years ago, when an undefeated Harvard eleven led by Barry Wood went down to an unpredicted defeat at the hands, or feet of Albie Booth, et al. The Crimson was highly favored that day and L'il Albie hadn't been doing so well that season. Wood still had his passing arm and there was Hageman to receive the heaves. But Albie and his little shoe outwitted them all, and sent the highly-touted home forces...
...appealed to all Germany in giant capitals to KAMPFEN MIT UNS FUR FRIEDEN UND GLEICHBERECHTIGUNG! ("Battle with us for peace and equality!"). The great plebiscite decreed by Chancellor Hitler to vindicate his withdrawal of Germany from the Disarmament Conference and resignation from the League of Nations (TIME, Oct. 23 et seq.) was on. Adolf Hitler, born an Austrian, was about to make good his audacious boast when summoned before the German Supreme Court three years ago (TIME, Oct. 6, 1930). Asked by the Court, "Are you plotting a revolution?", he snarled, "Nein!" we are merely planning an intellectual eruption...
...four years Afghanistan's hero has been her King, bespectacled, spade-bearded, ruthless Mohammed Nadir Khan. In 1929 Afghanistan was a shambles. Nadir's nephew King Amanullah, whose Western reforms so angered Afghans, had fled the capital (TIME. Dec. 24, 1928 et seq.). On the throne sat bloody Bacha Sakao, an upstart chief whose name meant "The Water Boy." Backed by the royal family's bribes of the Durani, Uncle Nadir marched on Kabul. He caught one of the Water Boy's favorite generals and his staff, boiled them all in vegetable oil. Water Boy picked...
Well, let us go for a moment to St. Augustine's treatise on the City of God, v. 19, where the deity, in all wisdom, says, "Per me reges regnant et tyranni per me tenent terram," "through me kings rule and tyrants hold their power." Later, in the Sententiae of St. Isidore of Seville, iii 48, we find a long explanation of the sanctions of the tyrant's rule centering around a dictum of the Prophet Hosea "I shall give them a king in my wrath." Gregory the Great, in his commentary on the Book of Job, insists that...
