...York newspapers is estimated to be at least $1,000,000. I hesitate to think what future generations will think of a twentieth century society which permitted such a practice. I know of no waste chargeable against management which compares with that in sheer futility. Labor would gain more by voluntarily giving up this tax on society than it could possibly lose. It cannot profit labor to know that some of its workers live off such a tribute levied against industry...
...have had no difficulty in establishing one ad hoc when the occasion arises, when the dispute is unimportant or would not justify the expense of war, or when political considerations dictate submission to arbitration rather than recourse of war--in short, when they feel that they have more to gain by arbitration or other forms of peaceful settlement, such as mediation, than by war. The hundreds of arbitration that have been held illustrate this fact.

...Foreign Minister was observed to be identical with that which had been "erased" a few hours before. It was Aristide Briand. Seven times M. Briand has been Premier of France.

Even though it invited negroes and Jews to join it, the Ku Klux Klan has just received a severe setback in two major attempts to gain political control of great population centers outside its main field of influence in the middle west and south. A week ago, Klan leaders, in their pre-election prophecies, were exultantly claiming Detroit and Buffalo as their own. Now press dispatches indicate that the anti-Klan candidates have been elected in both cities, although in each case the margin of victory was slim enough to show that the Klan's power over the more hysterical...
...spite of the fact that the Communists have seized Canton, in spite of the tremendous size of China, I have no fear that China will break up into small countries. All the leaders of revolutions are not declaring the independence of their various provinces, but are trying to gain control of China. There are 21 provinces in China now; in my diocese, which is composed of one and a half provinces, there are more people than in France and England put together. Yet linguistically, culturally, and racially the people are homogeneous, and so China will remain a unit...
