Across the Seas

The President is a diligent reader of the U. S. press. It is doubtful whether he scans the British press with equal thoroughness, doubtful therefore whether his eye lit on a passage in British papers saying:

"Panic has seized the Coolidge forces as a result of the primary contests in several states. The results have been symptomatic of a strong movement against the Administration in Washington."

Would the President's lip have curled? And would his eye have assumed a New England twinkle if he had also read:

"The Senators from the West are attempting to bring up anything that may impress the electors 'back home,' and even so able a man as Borah allows himself to be drawn into the old forms of mischief making."
