...protection the same hateful method that Germany adopted in her project for world domination? We feel that such methods are not necessary or even desirable; that they are not true to the ideals of the Americanism of which we are proud. For a number of years England has exercised virtual mandates for India and in part for Egypt. England has not compulsory military training, nor is she thinking of adopting...

In place of the former stand-and-deliver method of extracting a criticism from the reviewer when the paper to be criticized was presented to you almost without warning, and with it a virtual ultimatum that your review must be ready in three hours, now comes, with all possible courtesy and consideration, no less a person than the president of the Advocate himself, two or three weeks before he wants his review, to ask when it will be agreeable for you to write it.
