Touchy as a boil on the subject of foreign policy, which was heatedly discussed at last night's mass meeting, the Harvard Student Union will next week be split clean through, no matter which of its two factions wins out. Developing all last year, intellectual tension is now at the breaking point between President Alan Gottlieb's pro-aid-to-Britain, pro-Roosevelt group, and the Marx-Stange faction favoring no aid to Britain and branding Roosevelt as a war-monger. Inevitably the break will weaken the HSU, and tend to depress still further the strong but gradually waning student...
...Jennie Jerome of New York City, American in his directness but otherwise British as bully beef, last week spoke in a crescendo of confidence. Winston Churchill's blood is half American but when it begins to boil, a chemistry of ancient loyalties makes it all British-exultant, proud, superior, unbeatable even in defeat. Members of Parliament, their war nerves crying for a tonic, cheered as the Prime Minister bucked them with sentence after bracing sentence...
With Germany determined to settle the simmering Balkans, the Russian angle last week seemed to be to get them to boil over. Into circulation went rumors of a Russian-proposed three-nation block of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Rumania.

...oceans and seas," says Dr. Gamow, "will boil. It is difficult to imagine any living being left on the surface of the earth under such conditions, though the progress of technique during the next few billions of years . . . may make it possible to dig safe, air-conditioned underground cellars for humanity or even to transport the whole population of the earth to some distant planet. . . ." Even at the increasing rate of hydrogen consumption, the sun has enough left for ten billion years. Thus it has five-sixths of its life to live as a normal star. But when the hydrogen...
Meanwhile Standard Gas, a $766,345,000 system scattered from San Diego to Pittsburgh, took the initiative from SEC, last week filed a fairly drastic integration plan of its own. It proposed to boil itself down to two regional systems: one based on Pittsburgh, the other in Wisconsin and the prairie States. Six properties located on the West Coast, in the Rockies, Oklahoma and Kentucky would be sold by trading their common stock to Standard's own bondholders. These bondholders would thus own equities close to the meterboxes, while Standard would rid itself of perhaps...
