...even excitable on questions of defence. It is well inland. Bombardment of the coast seems a long way distant, to the Iowan. Pacifism, loosely interpreted, is fairly strong in Iowa. But what do you suppose is the public opinion of that state on universal military training? The newspapers reflect with accuracy the opinions of their readers-they wouldn't do business long if they did not. A poll has been taken, from DesMoines, of the Iowa newspapers on this question, and it resulted like this: In favor of universal training, 32 papers Against universal training, 4 papers Neutral or noncommittal...

Not that "Major Barbara" is not enjoyable, adverse criticism would reflect nowhere but on the unsatisfied but it is all so mysterious and sphinx-like...
...without being saccharine, and is so attractively vivacious that it is no small wonder the movie magnates have not attempted to rob the "legitimate" of another "queen." And so on right down the program, Charles Abbs as Pops, Lillian Lawrence as Grandma, the demon and John Hogan as Mason reflect nothing but great credit on the presenters of the jolly piece...
