Since the signing of the Armistice, in 1918, about twenty wars of varying size have been fought all over the world. There were the Imperialist and Polish wars against the Soviet Union, the Grace-Turkish fracas, the Poles versus Galicia, the Afghan invasion of India, and the war between Roumauta and Hungary. Until 1926 the Spanish and French were attempting to crush the Riffs. In 1923 the Italians bombarded Corfu. In 1929 the Chinese and Russians saw action in Manchuria. For the last few years Japan has been grappling with China in the same region; while in South America there...
...Frothingham of the Women's Patriot organization is convinced that Dr. Albert Einstein should not be admitted to the United States. Her arguments are sound. Einstein is affiliated with the War Resisters International, the World Congress Against Imperialist War, and the Workers International Relief.

S. pastor who called Heaven to witness that the U. S. is profoundly peaceful, Borodin replied: "The people of America are very easily led. They had no notion of going into the World War, but imperceptibly their leaders carried them on until one morning they woke...
...bones of the English, wrote Imperialist Rudyard Kipling, the English flag is stayed. The bones of Americans, too, lie whitening around the North Pole, in Luzon, Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, at Peking, Château-Thierry, on the weedy bottoms of four oceans and "the seven seas." Most of these are military bones. But men die in the Foreign Service too. Last week Consul Giles Russell Taggart, technically on leave, died at his post in Belize, British Honduras, from injuries sustained in last fortnight's hurricane (TIME. Sept. 21). Grieved, Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson announced...
