ADVERSARIA
THOMAS MANN, exiled German author, said a great many things during his current tour of the Unit- ed States, but nothing he said. is much more worthy of serious con- sideration than his remark in New York that "Freedom must learn the art of self-defence.”
HOPE is the dream a man has when he is awake. ⠀
CLOSE UPON the heels of the news that the American naval ex- pansion "bill," providing for a 20 per cent increase in the size of the Unit- ed States Navy, at a cost of U. S. $1,156,000,000, has become a law-is the news of an immense Budget de- ficit.
