Well, sir, or four yea:s no Serious Book or Public Utterance was complete without a judicious sprinkling of “intran- | sigent” and “intransigénce;” in some of the intel- llectual magazines the sprinkling became a veritable downpour. It was ended only when the argument over ideologies moved from the level of discussion to the level of.blood-letting. “Ideolog: that was another one.

The region is predominantly agricultural. By far the larger urban population will fall under American and British control.
