Editorial Notes on Costello Speech and League Language Policy
In a Democratic Club meeting in the 41st district Frank Costello rose to relate Devine’s wounding in France and heroism after leaving his gun. Geneva reports the League of Nations will adopt German as a third official language alongside French and English, based on Germany’s large German-speaking workforce and other nations’ preferences. The piece notes rising consumer prices, a Lowell underwear factory closure due to weak demand, and a dramatic steer chase in Manhattan highlighting a trend of bold crimes and urban danger in Greater New York.
