...important: Harry Bridges, the lean little Australian-born leader of San Francisco's 4,000 International Longshoremen-the John L. Lewis of the West-was trying to snitch the San Francisco Labor Council clean away from the A. F. of L.

Rabbi Samuel Marcus Gup told the Christians: "The world needs just this sort of demonstration in which you and we are taking part today...
...Constitution's history, as Mr. Hendrick reads it, is "from Nationalism to Nationalism." In 1787 the Founding Fathers compromised on a nationalistic form that was a body-blow to the Jeffersonians, State Righters, disbelievers in a strong central government. Today the Constitution is again the instrument of aroused Nationalism. "The new American government now in process of formation . . . really amounts to an attempt to create a new American world. . . . What may fairly be said is that the five decisions rendered [by the Supreme Court] on April 12, 1937, create a new United States...
