add to cart   close window

This article focuses on recent political developments in the U.S. The author describes that recently, the U.S. Congress has witnessed the revival of the functions and power of an organized Opposition. It is to the credit of political parties at daggers drawn in this month of July 1914 that instantly on the outbreak of war lethal weapons were sheathed. The tie of common brotherhood was drawn closer when, ten months later, a Coalition Government was formed. There have been occasional murmurings of revolt during the two years period of this coalition government. The official Opposition bench of statesmen confronting Ministers across the table remained, and has fairly well occupied.
