...Wall Street sentiment . . . constitute a generally harmful nuisance. They also constitute a reflection on the steadfastness and sobriety of a portion of the community. . . . The only circumstances under which, in a country with the resources, the resiliency and the basic elements of ours, a temporary descent into the cyclone cellar becomes warranted are-leaving aside grave foreign complications- either manifestations of stark and persistent overproduction or overtrading, the advent of a major credit disturbance, or acute monetary stringency. None of these circumstances exists today or is even remotely likely to occur...
...Maryland, than whom there is perhaps no more learned Senator. He reminded the Senate that the frequency with which he saw the name of Judge Elbert H. Gary attached to prohibition memorials was only exceeded by the frequency with which he heard envy-rousing reports of the grandly stocked cellar of the grand red house on Fifth Ave. which the Judge occupies.

Thus in throwing athwart the mists, the silhouette of a thinker, the "Forum" will, perhaps, have more success in broadcasting a thoughtful method of approach to argument, than in clarifying specific terms...
...poor nuts'," continued the producer, who was a student at the University of Indiana, "are found in every college just as in every other walk of life. They are the inveterate members of the 'cellar gang' of college fraternities, the self-deprecating youths, who suffer from nothing other than the well known 'inferiority complex'. Ordinarily this is merely a stage through which the young man of average ability passes when he first comes into the realization that his early dreams of fame which are the common property of all youngsters, are not materializing. Usually he recovers after the first blow...
