...above the Supreme Court in New Jersey is a Court of Errors and Appeals. This court, reviewing the evidence, noted that only two of the 40 policemen at the scene had feared a riot; that the only hint of trouble "which would be entertained by a person of a firm and courageous mind" was when some of Baldwin's marchers had, perhaps accidentally, brushed against policemen in passing. "Judgment reversed," said the high court last week, unanimously...
...Jester's editorial wit once again plays around this academic innovation, and under an elaborate figure suggests the Sophoclean maxim that it is unwise to call any man happy until he has safely passed his final goal. Those who have followed Lampy's course will catch the hint that there are still a few, at any rate, who retain doubts about the success of the Harvard experiment.

The hint thus given that the Plan was cracking caused the price of rubber to bound down and brought a heavy slump in the shares of British rubber companies. Therefore the pronouncement of Prime Minister Baldwin, last week, was expected, and merely served final notice that his committee has decided that the Stevenson Plan is unworkable and must be scrapped...
