...told that the things for which the American people are longing and yearning, that the thing which above all others they desire, and the thing which they are going to struggle to, is a Government of common sense. Now, I shall not go back over the history of the last three and one-half years in order to define that term. (Laughter and applause...
...Germany "may well offset this expected result ?" This: By the Treaty of Versailles Germany's Ruhr coal was separated from her Alsace-Lorraine iron ore.

...everything. But they don't always get it. The nightly ether-music is too often indirect advertising. Prudent musicians object to the broadcasting of their programs; people won't buy seats in stuffy concert halls if they can stay at home and listen to the same thing. For these and allied reasons, the Chicago Civic Opera will not broadcast its performances this Winter...
