George Washington, as can be ascertained from a perusal of his innumerable life portraits and their copies, was a man of many moods and faces.? Doubtless the Washington of the Peale portraits would have allowed a proud smile to creep across his bland countenance had he learned of all these incongruously complimentary doings in his behalf. The Gilbert Stuart Washington, however, is a more skeptical and pessimistic personage. Like those of Calvin Coolidge, his nostrils seem assailed by perpetually disagreeable odors. The Washington nostrils might have distended even more, had their owner heard of: 1) a project to sell...
With a smile that was childlike and bland Chiang Kaishek, famed first President of the Nationalist Government, arrived in Nanking last week. A thousand chastened members of the Kuomintang party assembled to welcome him. Only six weeks ago these same men forced him to resign the Presidency. He left and his opponents shouted to the winds that they were heartily glad...
Sponsored by 27 journals was a petition: a "Declaration of an American Citizen." Because the Supreme Court decision in the Bland-Macintosh case held that a native-born U.

Douglas Clyde Macintosh, professor of theology in Yale Divinity School, Wartime chaplain, and Marie Averill Bland, Wartime nurse. Professor Macintosh announced that before bearing arms for the U.

But we are also a nation with...
...Aliens Bland & Macintosh went about their work but their names, paired as tightly as Sacco & Vanzetti, Mooney & Billings, became Symbols. Last October, under the leadership of vigorous Professor Reinhold Niebuhr of Union Theological Seminary, was published a manifesto signed by 49 U. S. religious leaders. They -Harry Emerson Fosdick, Mary Emma Woolley, Sherwood Eddy, Kirby Page, Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise, et al.-said they, too, would weigh issues before fighting. Some swore they would never war. Last week, under the leadership of Editor Charles Clayton Morrison of The Christian Century, the U. S. religious press-both conservative and liberal, urban...
