The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. Woodrow Wilson's address before the Governors at Frankfort last week is both delightful and stimulating reading.

Those who habitually cannot find words to express their feelings will be chagrined to learn from latest statistics that there are above 400,000 at their disposal, exclusive of foreign languages. While the returns of the census during the past months have been causing various excitements, it has escaped general notice that the little denizens of the dictionary have been multiplying, too.

The British Prime Minister delivered a speech in the House of Commons on May 13, 1921 concerning the Upper Silesian question. The speech has deeply grieved the Polish nation and has evoked a feeling of profound uneasiness as well as of indignation. The British Prime Minister denies the Polish character of Upper Silesia and considers that the Polish population, which has been living there for centuries, consists merely of immigrants and that the German population there is indigenous. Moreover, the Prime Minister imputes an inclination to violate the Treaty of Versailles and reminds Poland, in a manner which must be described as inconsistent with the usual forms of international intercourse.

The article focuses on the November 1997 speech of celebrity digerati Nicholas Negroponte, head of the MIT Media Laboratory, in Brussels, Belgium. He prophesied World peace through the Internet. According to the author, Internet will no more bring about world peace than it will solve world hunger. Wars and starvation are the plague of mankind, bought and paid for by human beings capable of the most generous acts, as they are capable of the most heinous. The author sees the role of the Internet as a kind of international arbiter of conflicts, issues and policies. The Internet alone will certainly not solve age-old problems that plague this world, but it may well provide a means to put a huge dent in some of them. Through the Internet one can marshal the world's foremost experts and bring them to bear on any range of problems. It allows these often lofty and academic experts to be tossed into the mix with real-world professionals, such as relief workers, field researchers, the ground troops of theory and rhetoric.

The author believes that the speech rejected the legacy of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

The article discusses the addresses by the U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, in which a careful reading of his words is in order for what light they may throw on the current debate about national strategy. Ever since his sensational address before the Council on Foreign Relations, on January 12, 1954, the Secretary of State has been known as the Administration's leading advocate of "massive retaliation," a reputation that doubtless gives him the feeling of being a much misunderstood man. For to his critics Dulles has replied, from the first, that he wasn't talking about starting a war, but about "deterring" the other side from starting one.

The article focuses on some recent issues in the United States. According to journalist Michael O'Neill of the New York Daily News, during 1961 the U.S. State Department officials gave a total of 160 speeches around the country, while during the same period Defense Department officials and military officers gave 598 speeches on foreign affairs alone. According to U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Defense and the military accounted in this same period for 1200 public addresses on all subjects. When the Soviets resumed testing in the atmosphere, President Kennedy was immediately under pressure to do likewise. He rested and scored an outstanding victory in world respect, an intangible force that, in the long run, outlasts many a military triumph. When the American negotiators offered to comply with the Soviet demand that the nuclear-test ban and general disarmament negotiations be merged and the Soviets refused, the President scored again.

This article focuses on various political issues around the world. Governor Charles Evans Hughes's speech at Youngstown on Saturday throws no more light on his opinions than was afforded by his speech on national issues at the New York Republican Club last winter. Honest political soothsayers can give but one forecast as a result of the Vermont election. The presence of the Turkish consul-general at a Zionist mass meeting in this city may be indicative of the new fraternal feeling among the different races of Turkey that has come with the new regime, without meaning that the outlook of the success of the Zionist movement has changed for the better. The protest which the Swiss Democrats addressed to the Bunderat, calls attention to the most important problem now before international tribunals.

The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. Much of the comment on Saturday's official estimate of the cotton crop is wide of the mark. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in fixing 12,162,000 bales as the probable yield, names a figure nearly a million bales above that of the largest crop ever previously picked. Congressman John Sharp Williams's speech at Spartanburg, South Carolina, was the frankest admission yet made in public by a Southern leader that the Afro-American question had much to do with the overwhelming defeat of the Democratic party on November 8.

The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. The annual charge for interest on the public debt for the year 1868 was $140, 424,000, but for the year 1872, in consequence of the reduction of the public debt, through the continuance of war-taxes, the average annual interest has been reduced to the extent of at least $30,000,000. U.S. statesman Carl Schurz's speech had for its principal new feature a charge against the President in reference to the San Domingo business. An interviewing reporter of the Herald, the other day represented himself as having had a talk with the President at Long Branch. Indeed, he may have. Among other things confided to him by General Ulysses Simpson Grant was that Senator Schurz was disgusted with the administration simply because he could not have as much patronage as he wanted.

The article reports on recent socio-political developments during 1871. The Ohio Republican platform eulogizes highly the past services of the party, recognizes the three constitutional amendments as accomplished facts, and as valuable and valid pieces of legislation, declares that duties on imports should be levied in such manner as not to prejudice but promote the interests of every section and branch of industry as much as may be possible. The accounts of the growing cotton crop in the U.S. are still very conflicting, but seem in the main more favorable, especially from Texas and the other Southwestern States. The price has been steady, with some tendency to a alight decline.

This article presents information on socio-political conditions in the world during 1913. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, in his address at Gettysburg, avoided any comparison with former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln's winged wards and he also kept clear of labored discourse upon the specific issues of present-day politics. Frederic C. Penfield has been chosen Ambassador to Vienna by President Wilson. Attempts by the French to put the best face on their perennially disappointing figures of population are of interest to others than sociologists. In a population of 39,600,000, the excess of births over deaths in 1912 was nearly 60,000.

After fifteen years of non-recognition it is curiously moving to see the beginnings of a rapprochement between "these great peoples," as U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt calls them, "two great republics," as Soviet President calls them Soviet Union and the United States. The largest, most energetic, and most hopeful nations of the West and of the East how natural that they should be diplomatic friends, exchange ambassadors, and carry on trade of vast benefit to both. There are many ambiguities in the new monetary policy announced in the radio address of U.S. President, but in so far as the statement is clear it is also extremely disheartening. It means that the value of the nation's currency is to remain uncertain.

The peace of Europe, having been planted on top of a handsome sowing of dragon's teeth in the form of the Treaty of Versailles, is now threatened by exactly the crop of bitter fighting men that might have been looked for. It is at least encouraging to note that the French government is not too much disturbed, although it sees clearly enough that in the conciliatory phrases toward France in his speech German dictator Adolf Hitler was trying to drive a wedge between it and other Allies. There is no clamor in France for a reoccupation of Germany and little excuse for it in any act of the Reich thus far.

The article focuses on British prime minister Neville Chamberlain's speech of October 12, 1939, which according to the author, marks an epoch in the war. It is a pronouncement that the period of "appeasement" is definitely over, that, so far as Great Britain is concerned, no peace is possible which leaves the aggressor the fruit of his conquests. It did not close the door on peace, but it made it as plain as words can do that, if German dictator Adolf Hitler genuinely wants to end the war, acts and not verbal promises are required. Chamberlain's speech met with the general approval of the House of Commons.

The article presents information related to WORLD politics. It states that on August 20, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill speaking at the home of the late Lord George Curzon at Kent, England, declared it certain that Indian politician Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and "a handful of disloyal Indian politicians" would not obtain dominion status in their lifetime and that the next British House of Commons would be less favorable to dominion self-government for India than the present. The scholar in politics has been a good deal under suspicion since Henry Cabot Lodge, historian and biographer, turned out to be as much of a machine politician as any of his Senatorial colleagues in the U.S.

The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. The "arithmetic" of the campaign is so largely dependent in its present stage upon the results of the October elections in Ohio and Indiana that the newspapers have almost ceased to make calculations and predictions. At the beginning of the campaign Louisiana., Alabama, Florida and North and South Carolina were talked of as among the doubtful states by the Republicans, just as Maine and Vermont were by the Democrats. George F. Hoar has been making a speech at Newton, Massachusetts on civil-service reform, which is said to have been received with much applause.

The article focuses on the Navy Day speech of the U.S. President Harry S. Truman which, according to the author, was inadequate in many respects. The fundamental principles he enunciated would serve admirably as a basis for making over this country's policy toward China. Truman, in his radio speech on wages and prices was obviously attempting to maintain his chosen position in the middle of the road. But it was equally obvious that political and economic pressures were slowly pushing him toward the left. Realization of this fact caused the sharpest outburst of criticism from conservative elements in the press and the U.S. Congress that he has yet encountered.

The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. The two days' speech of U.S. Senator John Sherman on the Stewart Silver Bill may well be esteemed the greatest speech he ever made. His speech, covering not only the silver question, but the whole range of national finance, cannot be reviewed in detail within the limits of a newspaper article. Before the Inter State Commission at Minneapolis, in the case now pending for lower railway rates to that city on wheat from northern Minnesota and North Dakota, C.A. Pillsbury, the well-known miller, made some startling statements.
