...Wait and see; not abandon interests, but not provoke Japan in holding them; sit tight on the status quo. This policy, for many reasons, is the one which the U. S. is most apt to follow.

They stayed in line behind him when, last year, C. I. O. set itself up as a permanent organization and I. L. G. W. U. decided to play...
...gone. Banking in Buenos Aires, war service with the British and U. S. Armies (he served with the British in Mesopotamia, commanded an artillery battery in the U. S. Army), shipping after the War, exploration in China, hunting in India, books about the Far East-Son Kermit could follow the pattern of Father's life but he could not quite get its spirit. Last week it became plain that Kermit Roosevelt, plump and 50, had followed Father's fading footsteps out of the U. S. He had signed up as an officer in the British Army, thus automatically...
