The League, for example, would hesitate to apply an embargo without assurance that the United States would not insist on its full trading rights.

For the student who is interested in his field it is a source of chagrin that at present the work he does for his tutor should pass unnoticed, and it is unfair that the impecunious should be forced to forego much of this interesting work for the sake of marks which may mean little. There is everything to be said for a plan which will make it possible for those students in need of scholarships to be judged on the basis of their zeal as well as their ability...
