...Grew, American unofficial observer, permitted the concessions of the British Vickers-Armstrong Syndicate and French Regie Generale des Chemins de Fer, shorn of their obnoxious preferential clauses, to be included in the Treaty. In vain Sir Horace Rumbold argued that the Turkish Petroleum Co. concession for the Mesopotamian oilfields was valid, that his Government considered no other claims when British interests were affected and that any later contradictory agreement (i. e., the Chester Concession) made by the Turks was simply illegal. Mr. Grew icily referred the British representative to the three years' correspondence between the British and American Governments...
...Joseph Grew, in the name of the sacred principle of the " open door." To gain previous points from the Allies he had confirmed the monopolistic concessions granted before 1914 to the Vickers-Armstrong Syndicate for dock construction, to the French Compagnie Générale des Chemins de Fer for the railroad from Sivas to Samsun, and to the Turkish Petroleum Company, a British oil concession in the Mosul region based on a letter from a Grand Visier to a British Ambassador.

The satire contributed by Mr. John Finley Jr. is a telling reaction against the orgy of triumphant platitude in our industrial life. A deliberate monotony of style that never degenerates into mere burlesque reveals in all its ridiculous solemnity the sentimentalism so dear to readers of the American Magazine and of American magazines in general. This is a convincing...
...Cambridge is looking to the new fer moral support! From England comes the news that by a vote of 904 to 713 the plebiscite conducted by Cambridge University has rejected a propo a to admit women on equal terms with men. A debate at the Union and a straw vote showed that the undergraduate opinion was strongly against women entering the University. While the teaching staff was evenly divided, the graduates' vote confirmed the verdict of the student body, with the resultant defeat of the proposal...
