Founders of the two new magazines would deny that their publications are competitive in intent or effect, and would emphasize the necessity of rounding out the picture of student activity.

Thus the white majority in any election is safe, but the basis on which this is accomplished may not last forever. The House of Assembly of Bermuda last week put through a budget providing ample funds for the Government to propagandize Bermuda in favor of birth control, supply the necessary apparatus cheap to poor Negroes; further, to launch a determined fight on venereal disease by setting up free clinics. Only 20 of the 360 Bermuda Islands are inhabited. On a total area...
