...general staff of the forces of hell, but they are a general staff without an army. . . . I have even heard some people talk about what they call a preventive war with one camp trying to strike against the other before that other camp is adequately prepared. It is the stupidest of all follies to imagine that an injustice can be wiped out by committing an international crime...
...Stupidest move of the MacDonald campaign were the arrangements for his speech at Seaham colliery. If Schoolmaster Coxon had still been the Prime Minister's campaign manager instead of his opponent he never would have allowed Scot MacDonald to make a speech the very day that unemployed miners were drawing their reduced dole. He never would have chosen as a meeting place the same hall that had just been used as a dole pay office.

It is a good cast, but Miss Davies, probably the most skillful comedienne in pictures, lovely in her trailing gowns, is better than the rest...
...Britain, the party which will come into government at the next elections will be more inclined towards disarmament," Mr. Smith predicted. "But they should not trust naval experts to settle the question. The stupidest thing done at the Coolidge conference was the trust which was put in the naval experts. Quarrels on party; quarrels on guns, on cruisers,--why, what else is to be expected of naval experts anyway? The naval expert is paid to look after his navy. When he does not do that, he deserves the go-by. What does he know about limitation and reduction of armaments...
