Since it has appeared that vaccina-

vaccination is a matter that interests
hundreds of people who are opposed
to it. and. who are even prepared to
resist it.
Blackstone. the founder of all mod—
ern legal lore. is completely against
people who endeavor to force vacci-
nation itpon others who do not wish it.

the coming Genoa economic confer-
ence would be a failure “unless the
United States enters it with a heavy

of the center of the world‘s political
equilibrium. This, he added. was
just as difficult a task as it was for
Archimedes to find the center of gra-
vitation. .
Trotzky's interview. granted to the
foreign correspondents here. was the
first of an authorized nature he had
Elven since the change in {ussia's
economic policy.
“America's attitude toward Soviet
Russia is enigmatic." continued Trot-
zky. “She helps us more than any
other nation in feeding the famine

litical attitude, ‘v't‘e are watching
