"Tight"

"The United States feels tight," said Soviet War Commissar Clemence Voroshilov, last week, haranguing a Leningrad conference of The Party (Communist). "I mean by tight," continued Comrade Voroshilov, "exactly what I say! Grown gigantic and bloated with capital like a giant blood sausage, the United States feels tight within its frontiers."

Lest any dunderhead should fail to catch his drift, War Minister Voroshilov added that there is another bloated blood sausage which feels tight, namely Great Britain, and that "one need not be particularly Bolshevik to foresee that a solution lies in armed conflict between them."
