Bold, Bolder, Boldest

The alert, kinetic Scripps-Howard newspapers are constantly taking full page space in other news organs to advertise what they have done, not merely told. A recent claim is that defects in the U. S. Air Mail service which had caused the deaths of numerous pilots were remedied after a Scripps reporter had investigated and his chiefs had acted. Last week Scripps-Howard set out upon a bold, bolder, boldest crusade: trying to persuade the U. S. to pay the Civil War Debt to British investor: which was incurred and then repudiated by eight onetime Confederate States.

Program: further reduction of the British World War Debt to the U. S. should be made, and this reduction credited as wiping out the Confederate Debt to Britons.
