...peace revivalist was Franklin Roosevelt. On the same day last fortnight, he recommended peace in a message to the A.F. of L., and via the "White House Spokesman" read to Industry and Labor alike a polemic on the evils of sabre-rattling. To him then went Newspaper Guildsman Heywood Broun. Let the President, said C.I.O.'s Broun, create a commission to give U.S. Labor the same cool study which was recently applied at White House order to British and Swedish industrial relations...

Between Columnists James Westbrook Pegler and Heywood Campbell Broun there had long existed a somewhat strained out-of-print friendship. In print, "Old Peg," ever scornful of anything that looks like uplift, called his friend "old Bleeding Heart Broun," "the fat Mahatma." Two months ago, Columnist Pegler jabbed a particularly tender spot. American Newspaper Guild President Broun was operating a scab shop, he wrote, because the Connecticut Nutmeg, of which Broun is one-tenth owner-editor, had hired a non-union reporter.

...candidacy immediately hit a snag. "Bang the trumpet and blow the drum," began a sarcastic attack in Sir Walter Layton's pro-New Deal Star. "For the first time in history, an American Presidential boom-or boomlet-has been started in London." In the U. S., Columnist Heywood Broun gave Candidate Gannett "Hindiana, Hiowa and Harkansas." In Manhattan, the Daily News chortled: "If Lord Beaverbrook has his way . . . and Roosevelt runs against him-boy, what a dish Gannett will...

...troops for the advance were chiefly five columns of foreign Leftists, forming the spearhead of Barcelona's drive, under command of up-&-coming General Vicente Rojo. Soon wounded in the back by a bomb fragment was James Lardner, son of late Funnywriter Ring. In Manhattan, portly Leftpundit Heywood Broun announced that Ring Lardner was the only genius he ever met, rejoiced that the wounding of Son James, who writes, may force him to return to the U. S., thus providing the cause of Leftist Spain with another martyr...
