...support provided by the rest of the cast is excellent. M. Louis Ravet, as Louis XV, fulfills all the demands, which history makes upon his portrait. He is far outshone by Monsieur De Sax, who plays the role of the Due Debrissac, for there is a vigor to the performance of M. de Sax lending to many scenes that note of reality which the playwrights demand and which Mme. Sorel seems unable to give...

It is interesting that over 300 students should take the absolute pacifist position but one wonders how many of them, for instance, could outline the duties and sphere of action of the Permanent Court of International Justice, or if the 700 odd who would support some wars and not others, know the League of Nations Council definition of an aggressive war, and the details of the Locarno agreement. The resolution on the cooperative system displays a very hazy grasp of economic theory. Do its supporters know the successes and failures in cooperative marketing in Great...
