...plays are not written by University men in English 47. Witness "Believe Me, Xantippe," by J. F. Ballard, a former Craig Prize winner, and E. L. Beach's "The Clod," now running in New York.

No, indeed; moreover, our national desire to back righteousness varies inversely as our military power to do that which is good for us! Proof: Germany. Diplomatic history shows that the United States breaks its agreements when "essential to our vital interests." The only effective way of fighting the evils...
