At Duke University, one debater reported that he had received a letter from his Congressman. "I certainly hope," warned Representative Edward Robeson, "that you will not undertake to debate...
...possibility is outright grants; since the war, as Latin Americans often point out, rich Belgium and tiny Luxembourg have received almost three times more from the U.S. than the $209 million given to all 20 Latin American nations.

An official British parliamentary delegation that included the Duke of Wellington and all shades of M.P.s has just returned home.
