...newspaper ownership or control (threatening death to the Freedom of the Press) were the headline subjects at the seventh annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, in Washington last week.

Morrow, Houghton, Hughes; 3) Senator Borah probably prefers Mr. Kellogg to Mr. Hughes, since the Senator called seldom at the State Department...
When his short, 30-minute speech was over, Gustav Stresemann had unquestionably voiced the consensus of German opinion on these three vital topics. He soon received a vote of confidence 219 to 98. His speech was no less definitive and important than the Armistice Day Address in which President Calvin Coolidge spoke for the U. S. (TIME, Nov. 26) upon two of the very topics keynoted by Dr. Stresemann-Limitation of Armaments and Inter-Allied Debts...
