...Little but good news had Franklin Roosevelt ever had from the political surveys of FORTUNE, whose poll last autumn indicated his re-election with an error of only about 1% in the popular vote, whose poll in April indicated that 52.6% of the people favored a third term for him. Last week, FORTUNE'S June issue carried a special supplement giving a preview of its July poll on the President's popularity as affected by the Supreme Court issue. This showed a bigger change in his popularity than took place at any time during the campaign. Whereas...
...Catholic clergy were up in arms. Pastoral letters flew like autumn leaves protesting that the school campaign was a breach of the Vatican-Nazi Concordat (TIME, July 17, 1933).

When that may end in another depression like the last Banker Dawes makes no attempt to predict...
Stopping its fashion studies just short of an autumn forecast, the B.I.S. dolefully predicted that gold-laden lands like the U. S. and Britain "will presumably continue to be faced with the task of absobing large and increasing amounts of new gold, and the continuation of the policy of sterilization will involve them in ever increasing expenses...
