...final mood of a campaign is mostly illusion born of hope and fear," said Mr. Lippmann, as he went on to discuss the last days of the campaign and sum up some of his recent statements. "No public question is discussed on its merits. It is hardly possible to trust the candidates to make reliable statements of fact. Their versions of what happened in the past become so distorted by their anxiety to persuade that they are positively grotesque. One can watch the process of intellectual disintegration as the candidates keep on talking through the interminable weeks of the campaign...

However says that what this great land of the free (Airbustors) need is a good...
...immediate bonus payments and the load of the wasted millions falls directly on all the people in the shape of taxes, and particularly on this younger generation to which the Great War is only a dim reality. Congress has already permitted veterans to borrow on their bonus certificates a sum practically equal to what would have been the amount of the bonus if payed in 1926. The Legion, entirely overlooking the compound interest involved in the 1945 payments, asks in effect that the government pay twice as much as it owes...
