England's prolific Poet Laureate writes a rousing tale of a Latin American revolution, in which all the best parts are filled by Anglo-Saxon hearts...
...looks as if Uncle Sam is holding the bag again, and Britain slips around to Japan. British diplomacy has a beautiful way of just not being there where you really expect her sometimes. Just before the London Naval Parleys opened up, the Anglo-Saxons gave us quite definitely the impression that they were in sympathetic accord with the American conviction at the coming Parley.

Poet Pound's magnum opus, the Cantos, is written in a form peculiar to him: a kind of poetic newspaper, its fragmentary comments ranging through half-a-dozen centuries, cast in as many languages, sprinkled with "unprintable" Anglo-Saxon terms whenever they come in handy.

Barthou has been largely responsible for bringing Russia into the League of Nations, for guiding Italy towards a greater understanding of the Anglo-French outlook, and it was his sincere mission to achieve a closer alliance with the English-speaking nations,--not to mention his part in the formation of the Eastern Locarno Pact. He was one of the most enlightened ministers in France since Poincare...
