asked Where Is French politeness?"
A broadcast address by Senator Will

and jeering broke loose again.
A Nationalist meeting in another
hall, held in protest against the al

armament gathering, proceeded quietly
at the same time.

concluded his first sentence, the crowd
was quite out of hand and began a
rush for the platform. Two lines of
police were formed and the former Am

The present government is now

The Secretary of State made his
statement with great reluctance, but
he could not see another way out.
The japanese government had &C

any further hostile act. For once, both
the American Secretary of State and
