...Nations, domestic questions, . . . or questions affecting a third party." It is hard to imagine a quarrel in which one of these clauses could not be invoked. But it there is one, it is the rankling question of debt settlement; and this treaty is obviously intended to allay the fear of the French that the United States might attempt elsewhere the militant methods of debt collection that she has found so successful in South America. Lately the French cartoonists have been making pointed pictorial insinuations about the inexplicably large navy which their star-spangled Shylock is providing. In the light...
...attempting to slaughter him. With daring and originality he had escaped from the slaughter house by leaping out a low window. Now, with tail up and lashing, with head low and small eyes rolling wickedly, he purposed to charge down a street thronging with pre-dinner-time crowds. Stalked fear, reigned panic.

But on consideration, other parallels are evident. The tributary nations, such as Nicaragua and Mexico, are departing from fealty; missionaries are retiring in fear before savage Chinese warlords; Europeans look with greed on American wealth. Luxury is creeping in; laborers in linen collars sprawl in scented cinema palaces and forget about capitalism. In the Capitol, Caligula Heflin rails against religion, and tortures the Senators. In Colorado the Praetorian Guards are shooting workers. The barbarians...
