Christmas message and political notes from The Independent
The Independent wishes readers a merry Christmas and urges conservation to curb high prices. It notes Victor Berger's reelection, explains rainbow sugar is plain sugar with dye, and urges restraint on nonessential spending. It covers federal aid for Cuban sugar, Harding's presidential bid, Palmer's price relief promises, and the death of Asa Rh Reed, shipbuilder. It ends with a skeptical take on terrorism aiding Irish republicanism.
