As the campaign drew to a close last week both Jew Blum and Gentile Tardieu became speechless from talking too much, had to let their final speeches be read by leather-lunged henchmen. Premier Tardieu's laryngitis grew so bad that he dared not even venture out to ballot.

...Geneva the Disarmament Conference remained deadlocked upon Premier Tardieu's plan to equip the League of Nations with an international police force- a plan anathema to President Hoover, as everyone knows. Therefore knowing Swiss pulled long faces, called Delegate Stimson "the American Undertaker come to bury the Disarmament Conference." But Chief U.S. Delegate Hugh Gibson had presented to the Conference last week a spirited rehash of the "real disarmament" which President Hoover would like to see achieved...
