There Is scarcely a magazine of repute into which they haven't bought their way. They have their {own newspapers and they are hang- ing on to the fringe of a good many others. They're well in with the re views, they have a strong hold in the colleges, the book counters are flooded with their practically free lterature. On the other side there are a fair number of thinking people who would advocate America’s joining the pact. But there is no organization, nothing to bring them together, no means of spreading their opinlons. You've done as much as one man could do. Five thousand of u might have made a | little headway. As it is, Cornelius Blunn and his friends are absolutely convinelng the great majority of the inhabltants of the United States that America will sacrifice her Independ- ence if she accepts this pact, that Great Britaln is jealous of America’s supremacy in commerce and finance, and that this invitation is merely a trap.

The Presi- dent and most of his entourage are with us. That must count for some. thing.” There are drawbacks democ- racy,” Stoneham sighed. “Also a ridiculous side to it. The German confectioner in the next street has exactly as much voting welght on this or any other matter as a Har vard professor who has made a study of BEuropean politics and probably visited every capital. Decision by votes is always bound to have its fallacles. Look at prohibition, for instance, imposed upon the people of America against their wish, by votes. I'm not at all sure that in a thousand years' time absolute monarchy won't be recognized as the only sane form of goverpment.” “In the meantime,’ Grant suggest- ed, “let's get busy.
