Abstract

In the Driftway

The article presents brief comments on various developments related to brief government and politics in the U.S. Franklin K. Lane, U.S. Secretary of Interior packs his annual yearly review with good writing. Part of its charm lies in its modesty. There are none of those dull pretentious claims which commonly mark the politician in office. The Secretary tells about the past work of the Department and its plans for the future with a freshness denied the average professional writer. A considerable supply of a deadly and difficult gas has been manufactured in the U.S. and packed into retainers for shipment abroad. Now the U.S. have to get rid of it because the containers will not hold it for an indefinite time. It is to be hoped that the sulphur dioxide and the chlorine can be utilized for commerce.
