...While So Many Starve." In Nanking the President of China is a personage venerable and quaint. President Lin Sen has the archaic beard and lineaments of a Chinese scholar of bygone days. He is philosophical, reflective, expressionless. He is Old China. On his round-the-world trip in 1929, Mr. Lin with gentle insistence curbed the lavish hospitality of his expatriate Chinese hosts. "In this hard year of 1929," said he, "let us not spend our time and our money upon fine banquets and rich food while so many starve...
...left-wing professors' No. 1 bogey whose mighty press from coast to coast has been hounding liberal teachers as Reds and renegades to U. S. ideals. The meeting began with Columnist Heywood Broun boxing the shadow as valiantly as he could without naming names. Historian Charles Austin Beard, who once taught at Columbia, followed him. Hawk-nosed, white-haired, clean-shaven Dr. Beard read his speech, made the point that education should be "a scholarly, balanced presentation of facts."

Chairman Jesse Jones of the RFC brought greetings from the White House. President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin came sonorously "out of the no-man's land between old deals and new deals to sound again the bitter cry of the children for a square deal." Dr. Frank and the children wanted more money from the Federal Government. After his speech President Frank seconded Dr. Beard's Hearst-baiting. Then...
...incompetence. Chairman Fahey's ideal of a business interview is reported to be 4½ min. for business, 30 sec. for greetings and farewells. People lucky enough to get inside his crowded office in the Post Office Building find a distinguished old gentleman with a snowy Vandyke beard, twinkling eyes, rippling humor. New Hampshire-born and educated, he has, in his 62 years, published the Boston Traveler, superintended the Associated Press's New England division, conducted a Boston investment house, operated a shipyard in Florida, helped found the U. S. Chamber of Commerce...
