“ALL HOT AIR”
NOVELIST’S IDEA OF TEXAS SOCIAL ECONOMIST FROM U.S.A. “It is all hot air.” That is how Dr. Milbank Johnson describes the American author’s idea of Texas, as given to the world in numberless novels. “Texas produces the largest quantity of cotton of any State in America,” he says, “ar»d is thoroughly civilised as New York.” Dr. Johnson, who formerly practised medicine at Los Angeles, was professor of physiology and medicine at the University of Southern California. He has now retired from practice and devotes himself to the study of social economy. He is president of the Taxpayers’ Association of California, and is a director of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. Dr. Johnson says that conditions were excellent when he left California, and that there was very little unemployment. The elections were in full swing and were producing their usual excitement.
