Taking Advantage.
Frank D. Cheney, the New Eng
land silk Ki.:g, arguing that America
• should keep out of Europe, said on
disembarking from the Paris in New
I York;
i
i r.u~ope takes advantage;of us. We
.-ire not perfect by any means, but we
: are more generous than Europe, and
he takes advantage of our generos
ity. It’s kkc the story of the ship
wreck.
“As the ship was going down the
captain’s voice rang out, clear and
: feud above - the roar of the wind:
‘Anybody here k? o w how ..to
! pray?’.
“‘I do,. : captain* And a.; fine; up
