These theoretic limitations of the Bill aside, there is still much to object to in Kennedy's attempt to conjure with the ghost of Bright. The Free Trade philosophy is not an American growth, for the simple reason that America is not a trading country.

(This helps explain why the unprincipled British will trade with Rel China; America can afford her high-minded refusal to do so.) Even if an expansion of exports were the only effect...

...best way now available for measuring the distance of an object far out in space is to bounce a radio signal off it and measure the time it takes for the reflected pulse of radio energy to return. This time interval, multiplied by the speed of light (which is the same as the speed of radio waves), gives the round-trip distance. But the speed of light, complains Dr. Lowther, is known only with the inaccuracy of three parts per million...
