...nobody could question either the friendliness to labor of Nebraska's Senator Norris, or of his right to advise it. Still one of the most imposing landmarks in U. S. labor history is the Norris-LaGuardia Anti-Injunction Act, which improved the legal status of unionism, drastically checked the granting of injunctions against unions in Federal courts (average before it was passed: 100 a year). Last month Senator Norris let it be known: "I have worked with and for labor for 30 years and I am disgusted with the situation now. . . . There is something wrong with the leadership...
...position necessitated, Germany continued the more aggressive. Last fortnight one of her reconnaissance planes appeared for the first time over Britain's industrial Midlands, flying low and streaking away from anti-aircraft and pursuit after traversing Manchester (textiles), Merseyside (ship-building), and North Wales (coal). Last week more Nazis penetrated Kent and Essex, passing close to London, some of them apparently to divert attention from mine-laying seaplanes at the mouth of the Thames. Repeated reconnaissance in the North culminated with a concentrated bomber flight which descended upon a detachment of the British Home Fleet somewhere near the Shetland...

He authorized a statement which even the bitterest Moslem would think reasonable: "If Britain fights for the maintenance of democracy, she must necessarily end imperialism in her own possessions and establish full democracy in India...

The film is a dullish cinematizing of Shephard Traube's weakish story, Goose Step, portraying the sufferings in a concentration camp of a group of anti-Nazis of no particular politics. Most of them are finally released. Their leader (Roland Drew) escapes with no more trouble than it takes to run across a field to a hay cart, finds it just as easy to rejoin his wife (Steffi Duna) in Switzerland...
Such a manifesto as that of the YCL does little to foster this cool-headedness. Their furtive methods of distribution, and their obvious attempts at whitewashing a murderous attack on civilians can only serve to arouse the very anti-Soviet hysteria they deplore. The latest YCL statement emphasizes the fact that their views are not taken to further the best interests of the U.S., but to champion the cause of Russia. While there is no legitimate reason for suppressing such views, there is no denying that, emotionally, they invite suppression, and for this reason make less healthy the political climate...
