...British reply was made as the Inter-American Neutrality Committee met in Rio de Janeiro. Opening the first session of the meeting, President Getulio Vargas of Brazil declaimed that the Americas had as much right to establish a peace zone as European nations had to proclaim a war zone. This fine thought was not followed by any practical suggestions. In Buenos Aires, Argentina's Foreign Minister José Maria Cantilo suggested that if Great Britain and France would agree to send no more warships into the safety zone, it might be possible to get Germany to promise the same...
...people!" cried Prime Minister de Valera in a fighting speech. In the lobbies of the Dail, meanwhile, it was whispered that I. R. A. plans were for a combined insurrection and war to overthrow the Governments of both Eire and Northern Ireland, sweep away the intervening fron tier and proclaim the Irish Republic - a move which Great Britain would certainly answer by sending an expeditionary force to Ireland as she did to crush the "Easter Rebellion" of 1916.

S. citizen came as a solemn reminder, in anxious days, that beneath the stated rights of citizenship lies a rock-founded base guaranteeing their preservation...
...finish-post was passed, Jockey Key Pittman of Nevada neatly unhorsed himself with the flat pronouncement that he did not expect Franklin Roosevelt to proclaim defined combat areas (next day the President did). Nothing dashed by this tumble, the lean Nevadan mounted again on the most improbably romantic idea of the week: that U. S. ships are to be provided with distinctive markings for each side: that the Germans would be advised of the markings on one side, while the Allies would be told of the other. The markings, said Mr. Pittman gravely, would be visible for five miles. Further...
