...Bank and the Equitable Trust Co., Manhattan, eating up $700 a day interest at the expense of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, which had exported gold to the U. S. for the first time. Standing orders have outlawed Russian gold since 1920. [Only last month Secretary Frank B. Kellogg had ruled against cashing of Russian Soviet railroad bond coupons by the Chase National (TIME...
...December 28 Secretary of State Kellogg wrote Foreign Minister Briand, suggesting the drawing up of a Franco-American treaty to outlaw war. Within the week M. Briand countered with the suggestion of a treaty mutually outlawing only wars of aggression. On January 11 Secretary Kellogg parried neatly with a thrust that the editorial galleries applauded long and loud: that a multilateral treaty be drawn up outlawing every kind of war.

Meanwhile America is preparing a great navy building program with one hand while with the other she pens with dove's quill resolutions for Pan-American Conferences and Franco-American treaties of amity. Meanwhile the paradox at home has an international twin; only one obstacle of size stands in the way of a multilateral treaty outlawing war among the great powers. That obstacle...
