Undoubtedly Japan's "inflation boom" distracted her leaders last week from hard and ominous facts which they must sooner or later face. Government expenditures are running 70% ahead of current revenue, a catastrophic spread. Like all booms the current, superficial Japanese prosperity is basically unsound. With Manchuria still full of Chinese bandit-soldiers who are still full of fight, the Empire stands committed to further stupendous military expenditures, consequent further inflation of the yen and the most strenuous testing in 1933 of Japan's whole fabric, economic, fiscal, political...
Organized destruction of the remaining 100 dogs would be so expensive as to render what is left of the argument economically unsound, even if a force could be recruited sufficiently heartless to carry it out. TIME does well to propose no "plan...
...youth, a promising author with no money, living in blissful sin in Berlin with Lenore Wahl.

Anne may, near the end of January come near admitting that...

I have never doubted that the defeat of Mr. Bryan was due to the presentation by Democrats of the incalculable loss to Labor from an unstable and unsound currency. The relation of such a shift of values in wages, as well as savings and investments, was readily appreciated by the industrial masses, so many of whom were continually remitting to their families in Europe. I believe a consideration of the real economic issue presented in 1896, as compared with...
