add to cart   close window

This article presents information about political developments in the U.S. as of February 13, 1929. Not a great man, nor a showy one, but extremely able and of fine personal character is Henry L. Stimson, who appears to have been chosen by the President Herbert Hoover to be Secretary of State. A very dangerous bill slipped through the Senate on January 23, with little discussion and almost without notice by the press--a measure for the registration of aliens which was introduced by Senator Cole Blease, that great exponent of democracy from South Carolina.
