...Coach Sanford, but we do feel that his statement is evidence that the various accusations against modern football are not totally unfounded. When football reaches the stage where it is simply a demonstration of how much the rival coaches know, it ceases to be a sport; it is a trade. In a game where two opponents merely direct their respective machines the frequently used term "Gridiron Battle" assumes a grim reality of meaning. Individual initiative on the part of the players is no longer desirable, but on the contrary positively dangerous: it might interfere with the coach's plan...
...process. But it must be done, so that the United States Senate will be aware of intelligent criticism if it proposes to meddle with this delicate machine. And yet here is only one phase of the financial problem that needs clarification. The fundamentals of exchange and foreign trade are not so vital to welfare, except that it is chiefly ignorance of them that leads to advocacy of most of the wildcat "--standard" schemes. From top to bottom, a thorough knowledge of economic principles is sadly lacking. As a starter, we recommend Economics A for about 90 percent of the United...
...European situation directly affects business in the United States through the channel of international trade and exchange. The actual value of our foreign trade in 1921 was about half of what it had been the previous year, while the actual volume decrease in 1921 showed a 6 per cent decrease.

A knowledge of at least the main topics of the agenda, however, are somewhat of a guide; and in this case the most important seem to be a consideration of the reparations problem, of the barriers raised to trade by the exchange rate, and of the effect on sensitive nations of the land armament ratio--in other words of the undoubtedly superior position in this respect held by France. That the administration will send delegates to the Genoa conference, if it materializes is entirely possible. But until the solution...
There is, of course, the argument that the farmers would over-emphasize the importance of the domestic market, with the result that we would become an economically isolated nation, with a high tariff and no interest in foreign trade. But the opposite is just as likely to happen, provided that the farmers come to feel that their most valuable market lies in foreign countries. This attitude is apparently the most desirable, leading as it would toward closer association with other countries of the world. At all events, it will do no harm if the national politician is forced to take...
