...American interest in European affairs. The average American says to himself: 'Now we have lent them a hand, after all, and at the very first try we pulled the cart out of the mud.' It does not matter whether that is altogether true or whether the main credit belongs to England. The Dawes report has had an even more beneficial effect on France, who will be compelled to reduce her pretentions to a European hegemony and her military expenditures, which the Dawes report will accomplish even more certainly than it will extract reparations from Germany...

It does not include any prominent example of the "substantial, informative article" relating to business or political news?unless perhaps an article on the oil scandal can be so classed. In the main, it adheres to the more dramatic type of narrative. It is apparently an attempt to treat news articles by the standards of fiction.
