...quickest, sharpest G. 0. P. answer to Nominee Smith's farmstorming tour was emitted by Senator George Higgins Moses of New Hampshire, official Hooverizer of the East. Quoth he: "The ploughboy of the Eastern world goes West in a $1,000,000 special train to carry relief to the harassed farmers of that section. His remedy consists of a plea to give him a chance.

Perhaps the sharpest barb yet hurled at the Kellogg Peace Pact came last week from onetime Director Salvador de Madariaga of the Disarmament Section of the League of Nations. Wrote he to the London Times: "It is evident that a state which offers to renounce all but defensive wars (and that is what the American proposal means, despite its, in appearance, unqualified condemnation of war) renounces nothing at all so long as it retains the right to define when it is fighting a defensive...
