...Office official pointing out that his new chief recently wrote the preface to the novel provocatively describing a war between Japan and Soviet Russia.* But despite his militancy War Minister Hayashi is rated more cosmopolitan than General Araki. Several times he has represented Japan in Geneva, gained a broader world view. On taking office he had nothing to say to correspondents, beyond admitting that the Japanese Who's Who is correct in listing his recreation as "the collecting of swords...
...have offered to give a lecture before a group of Mr. Kittredge's advanced Shakespeare students. I am sure that, if the class and Mr. Kittredge read my book, "Man vs. Ape in the Play of Earce-Rammed," they will be able to speak more intelligently, and with a broader authority, on the Baconian question which has agitated our scholars so long. Mr. Kittredge was sent a copy of my book last February; since it has not been returned, I assume that he received it. Although he is the educational product of another age, and naturally unsympathetic to the mind...
...mechanics of writing. Everything that comes from his pen has the same brittle competence. One sees the commas, the exclamations, the paragraphs, falling inexorably into place, and the people, the situations, the emotions, falling with them.

As a matter of fact the administration could go much farther then it already has and still be within the bounds of the constitution.

No careful critic, who has taken the time to really study the act, can say that it is unconstitutional. Leading jurists all over the country, including Professor Thomas Reed Powell of the Harvard Law School, have upheld the legality...
...editor, Mr. Henry Hazlitt, writes on "The Fallacies of the NRA," an article in which he reveals himself as a rather hacknoyed economist. His criticism is stereotyped, and shows that along with most other economists he is unable to see the woods for the trees, for he disregards the broader implications of Mr. Roosevelt's experiment. One Dane Yorke makes an entirely unsuccessful effort to explain what he calls the "mystery of retail price"; all that emerges is that for some occult reason the price of most articles is from two hundred to twenty-six hundred per cent higher...
