...people the issues which the machine has created. But that attempt will mean a degree of control that converges, in practice, with ownership. The end is a great one, but parliamentarism is not the means for its attainment, for parliamentary government does not have the power and sanction to enforce this ban to conclusion. The conservative need not fear Mr. Roosevelt for they can check him at the final point: for the same reason the real radicals are unable to feel that his experiment can be a direct, or ultimately a successful...
...Lowell's first letter complained that the code, instead of checking block booking, gave it "a certain legal sanction."

France will be shorn, it appears, of the universal sanction of the Versailles Treaty which the League was to ensure; but with her present military strength and with the political situation on the Continent weighted heavily in her favor, she should not be too disturbed. The last nail has been driven into the coffin of our most ambitious attempt...
