Brewster's Millions. As Republican Governor of Maine from 1925 to 1929. Ralph Owen Brewster made his political name & fame by a dogged fight against the Insull power interests in that state. Elected to the house last autumn as an avowed enemy of Power, he helped wangle a $36,000,000 works relief grant from the Democratic Administration to harness the tides below Passamaquoddy Bay in his district with a great government power dam. Yet in the House teller vote on the Public Utility Bill's so-called "death sentence" (TIME, July 8), Representative Brewster sided with Power...

But recognizing that his belated New Dealish Government may go out of existence at the general election next autumn, Prime Minister Bennett added: ''It may well be that other policies may prevail, but they will prevail at the expense of this country...
...load trains with seeds, cinemas, drygoods, hardware and propagandists, dispatch them to the back districts for the edification of incredulous Chinese. In the U. S. railroad peddling has been largely confined to private cars in which crack executives tour the land, scatter cheer to underlings and big customers. Last autumn Chairman Winthrop Aldrich of Chase National Bank led a long goodwill mission around the borders of the U. S. in a private car with his nephew Nelson Rockefeller as Exhibit A (TIME, Dec. 24). But not until last fortnight when Chicago's Marshall Field & Co. christened an eleven...
