...Germany's war on the Roman Catholic Church, Catholicism's most experienced critic of Nazi ideology is Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber, Archbishop of Munich. In practical dealings with Nazis no German prelate is more adroit than the noble Bishop of Münster, the Most Rev. Clemens August Count von Galen. Example: When Bishop Galen lately preached in his cathedral on the Church's role in the education of youth, a uniformed Nazi leaped up to shout: "How can anybody talk about youth if he himself has neither wife nor child...
Most piquant and persistent of business rumors during recent months has been the one that Postmaster General James Aloysius Farley would shortly resign to head a rejuvenated Fierce-Arrow Motor Corp. Basis for this talk, which Jim Farley never denied, was a Fierce-Arrow reorganization plan proposed last August and approved by stockholders in September, under which the company would raise $10,700,000 through sale of new stock and enter the medium-priced automotive field under the guidance of "a person of national importance."

The South, with 8¾? cotton (in 1931 it went to 6?, was not as badly off as Mr. Roosevelt told his Georgia audience it was. In the Far West business was far better than in the industrial East, but business sentiment was just as bad because ownership...
...between material, partisan politics and politics in which moral issues are involved. A priest may attack sterilization laws from the pulpit but not denounce a political party as such. On this controversial subject, much misunderstood by non-Catholics, Pope Pius XI last week made a pronouncement. He gave his august backing to an eminent European prelate who had written: "The hierarchic authority is perfectly entitled to pronounce on any political party or political movement in so far as that party or movement opposes religious well-being or the precepts of Christian morals...
