...itself once a frontier, now has frontiers of its own, on the Yangtze and on the Potomac. It does not aspire to displace the East industrially. What it wants is to develop a great home market for its industries, and to trade greatly with British Columbia, Alaska and the Orient-especially with new China. To banish its postwar nightmares, to achieve its postwar dreams, it feels that it must continue its fight for States' Rights under Warren and other governors but must also have far more representation in Washington, D.C. than it has ever had before...

The Service, now well out of its lean years, almost foundered in the mid-'30s, when it had no safeguards against families which joined just in time for Mamma to have a baby.

His 400 Million Customers (1937), the fruit of his 26 years of successful journalism and advertising in the Orient, became a best-seller in nine languages.
