Fact was that to most Democrats, including Senator Robinson, Passamaquoddy had by last week become one of the unpleasantest words in the language. Apparently doomed were this $36,000,000 Maine tide-harnessing project and the $146,000,000 Florida Ship Canal when, after Congress had refused to appropriate money to continue them, President Roosevelt washed his hands of the two ventures. He had started them on relief money without consulting Congress, now declared it was up to Congress to finish them. But the President had already tossed $5,500,000 over the Maine dam, sunk...

Everything that has happened in the past two months has been recorded in the Press, and I fail to see why it should not be shown in the films." Always glad of a chance to blast any kind of censor ship, London editors found themselves in agreement with Viscount Cecil. "This time the film censorship has really passed all bounds," cried the Daily Herald. "Such dictatorship possesses a quality which can only be described as impertinence."

Under one Joseph Curran, the dissatisfied element brewed a general east coast seamen's strike. The conservative Union heads, who had meantime arranged an agreement with shipowners for an east coast pay-scale...
With Kaiser Wilhelm watching, the 915-ft. ship was launched in Hamburg in 1914, named Bismarck. Unfinished because of the War, she was confiscated by the Allies, awarded to Great Britain in 1919. Completed in 1921, she went into service for the White Star Line as the Majestic. From then until the launching of the Normandie last year, she was the largest ship afloat, though the 907-ft. Leviathan made similar claims. In 1923 the bulky three-stacker momentarily snatched the transatlantic speed record from the Mauretania (now also junked) by crossing in 5 days...
