"34 of 1% of the Nerve"

Lustily boastful of U. S. wealth, chidingly scornful of U. S. attitude was a bulletin issued last week by Harriman National Bank & Trust Co.

After presenting percentage figures to prove U. S. dominance, the bulletin continued: "On the other hand, we would seem, by the pessimistic sentiment prevailing, to have about1%, of the courage, three-fourths of 1% of the nerve, one-half of 1% of the force and power and one-quarter of 1% of the backbone of almost any other country--England, for instance--struggling along carrying gigantic debts and with millions of unemployed, without a murmur of complaint.

"Merely being burdened with an incompetent, incapable Senate gives us no reason for lamenting over our condition. Should we give as much care in attending the coming primaries and selecting proper, intelligent representatives for Congress as we do in selecting even our golfing and fishing outfits, that too, may be remedied. Fundamental conditions in America are safe and sound."
