Battles against business exploitation proved that the U. S. had no system of laissez faire; battles like that against the spoils system demonstrated the American system's "live sense of opposition to the subtle approach of political tyranny...

Despite China's desire to keep a clean record against aggression, it was unlikely that Dr. Koo would be able to cast a vote against Russia...
...worse disorder than any known national group of armed men. This was understandable because of the world in which they lived, and the causes for which they were asked to die. Cowardice was common-'kai pa' ('I'm afraid') was heard on every hand. But the present Chinese Army has spirit. It glows. The men are willing to die. They mix and tangle with the Japanese with a burning hate that is good...
