...American people as well as to the Filipinos. . . . Patriotic Filipinos can ill begrudge the hardships that may be occasioned, knowing full well that liberty has always entailed great burdens and responsibilities. . . . I'm happy and I'm grateful. I envision for my people a future grander and more glorious once we are independent and free...
When the Associated Advertising Clubs of America expanded into the grander International Advertising Association in 1928, the above paean and many another was sung to the Association's smiling, backslapping, handshaking new president, an amazingly energetic exuder of amiability. Last week hundreds of admen whose hands Charles Clark Younggreen has shaken and who take pleasure in being able to call him "C.

Shanghai was to Tokyo last week only another Tientsin, on a much grander and more glorious scale (see p. 21).

That is the crux of the whole work; bear it in mind...
There is no grander heritage than a noble tradition. Traditions do more than add quaint lustre to old and great names; they grant a stability and a tranquility which would be impossible without them. In the darkest hours England has ever known she has hung on and muddled through, because, generations before, men of England had hung on and muddled through. That is one of the finest traditions, but there are countless others. For centuries "the brethren in their sorrows overseas" have stood, glass in hand, in barren mess rooms looking at a homely portrait on the wall. One amongst...
