This article focuses on the political developments in various parts of the world. Complications developed by the U.S. Presidential primaries in various States show how difficult it is to frame efficient machinery for executing the popular will under the elaborate system of nominating and electing Presidents. After the primaries have passed into history, however, the popular vote must still run the gantlet of interpretation in the electoral colleges. Last Thursday's vote by the House, 147 to 126, in favor of making the Panama Canal free to American ships, is not likely to be the final expression of the will of the U.S. Congress.
