...Caesar." Republican administrations, he declared, encouraged an "orgy of stock speculation" and President Coolidge "figuratively jumped into the stockpit and cheered on the gamblers." Billions of dollars of foreign securities "now practically worthless" were dumped on the U. S. market. The State Department "without sanction of law" usurped the function of passing on these loans and was therefore "implicated" in the disaster. When the Senate unanimously ordered it to desist as financial censor, Secretary Stimson brushed aside the order "with a contempt that entitled him to impeachment." Declared Senator Glass...

In Constitution Hall, with aged Frank Billings Kellogg presiding, Lord Reading delivered an extremely graceful, circumlocutory and boring address, a brilliant example of how dull a great and able man can be at a formal function. He recalled his distinguished U. S. friendships, expatiated on the profession, on India, on Anglo-U. S. understanding and world depression. Only with the politest indirection did he remind the U. S. ''brethren" that when England moved her high courts to finer quarters 50 years ago, she followed...
