Among the Exiles are representatives of a half dozen different parties joined for the most part by nothing stronger than a common hatred of President Machado. To work more effectively they met fortnight ago and formed a new revolutionary Junta in which each party will have one vote. It numbers...
...Jacob Ruppert of Manhattan has something in common with the groundhog and the katydid. Even as they foretell spring and frost, so does he regularly punctuate the calendar with his annual statement: "The Yankees are stronger than last year." Last week Col.

This should be extended to state jurisdiction as well, making it possible to hurry procedure along at something better than the current snail's-pace. If this were brought about, there might...
...much worse condition. That would mean the transference of a great deal of cash from the East to the West, with a consequent weakening of the East. That is precisely what the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has been doing: it is merely an organization to take money from the stronger and wealthier parts of the country and transfer it to the weak South and West...
