...everyone knows, the Anglo-French agreement was contingent in any case upon the still unconcluded Franco-U. S. debt settlement. If France should agree to pay the U. S. proportionably more, Britain was to have pari pasau treatment. However the French fiscal breakdown has damped British hopes of ever receiving even the minimum agreed upon by Caillaux...
...quite impossible at present to determine the type of cancer which will be favorably influenced, so that no guarantee of improvement can be offered to any individual case. Some people bear the lead injections without serious disturbance, while others show evidence of poisoning so promptly that the treatment has to be abandoned. . . . "The gist of the matter is, then, that we have a treatment which brings at least temporary relief to one person in five who takes it, but that the remedy is extremely dangerous; that the drug is difficult to prepare, impossible to keep, and therefore for the present...

...other deciding factor that has turned the students away from internationalism and hence away from the republic, whose most ardent supporters are mainly internationalists and pacifists, has been the unwise treatment of that republic by the former enemies, and above all by France and Poland. The "passionate consciousness of race and nation" so natural to educated young men and women has been outraged too many times. The invasion of the Ruhr was a tremendous victory for all those Germans whom Americans in general regard as "reactionaries," the shooting down of German workmen at Essen at Easter time...
