Quite obviously, U.S. business is all set for a war boom. Dangerous as such a boom may be, it is unavoidable. American public opinion would not permit any embargoes to be placed on our foreign trade, not only because it is profitable, but also because it is almost entirely with the Allies, with whom our sympathies lie. As a Washington wiseacre commented, "For once, the dough and the ideals are on the same side." They certainly seem to make an unbeatable combination. We can only pray that the Neutrality Bill, which seems soon to be passed, will keep the resulting...
During the Middle Ages Sweden was successively the terror of Russia and of Germany. The great Russian trading centre Novgorod was founded originally by Swedish corsairs; they pressed down the Dnepr River and into the Black Sea to trade with "Miklagarth the Golden" as they called Istanbul in their Sagas; and on Midsummer Eve, 1630 the greatest of Swedish kings, Gustavus Adolphus, "The Lion of the North," launched an invasion that swept irresistibly across Germany...

Her wealth and her small but efficiently equipped Army make her a national leader in the so-called Oslo Group (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Finland, Belgium-Luxembourg Trade Union) which overlaps the so-called Northern Neutrals (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland). These groups pursue a ceaseless European activity for lowered customs barriers, mobilization of Europe's remaining moral forces against aggression, and until lately they were the energetic champions of the League of Nations, now admittedly defunct...
...Philadelphia last week met 5,000 men who have seen and caused more blood and wounds than any 5,000,000 of their fellows. Two hundred years ago such men were rated on a level with barbers (a trade they often combined with theirs). But no one last week could have so mistaken their social standing. Neat, spry and greying, the American College of Surgeons wandered among the palms of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel surveying wall-racks steely-bright with surgical knives, forks and spoons, rooms crowded with electrical vibrating beds, weird steel scaffolds for broken limbs, gently breathing rubber...
