This superficial training is supposed to be sufficient to make a man a field artillery officer after he has completed a short session at a summer camp. A smattering of hygiene, first aid, signal and fire control, hippology, communications and military history is not thorough enough training to make a man a second lieutenant. Four easy, indeed snap, courses aren't big enough to handle all the necessary material. The result is that the R.O.T.C. graduate comes out at the end of the curriculum with a host of vague, half-correct generalities, which are worse than ignorance...
...comparatively impartial. To compensate for New Deal slanting, Publisher Patterson made a notable contribution to political journalism. Early last summer he announced that, for the remainder of the campaign, the News would daily donate the full page opposite the editorial page to the Republican and Democratic National Committees.

If the breakup of the united labor front in this country into a Green and a Lewis camp, which was openly fostered by the President and his underlings, can do anything but set the labor movement back several decades Mr. Roosevelt has not yet explained what it is. If the rabble-rousing speeches of the President have any effect on the worker, it is only in accentuating class differences between...
