...heroes as something of a personal encounter. By last week the situation plainly called; for diplomacy. As a peace offering Secretary of War Dern asked Col. Lindbergh and two other famed flyers to sit on a War Department board of inquiry into the Army's airmail operations. Clarence Chamberlin accepted. Orville Wrright blamed ill health for his refusal. Col. Lindbergh declined because "I believe that the use of the Army Air Corps to carry the airmail was unwarranted and contrary to American principles. This action was unjust to the airlines whose contracts were canceled without trial. It was unfair...

Williams a special adviser to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with Dr. John B. Crane a special investigator for the Airmail committees of Congress, and with Dr. Edward Chamberlin assisting the Railroad Coordinator. Lecturers have discussed the New Deal in its economic, legal, and political aspects, and have often deviated from their regular schedule to discuss events recorded by the morning newspapers...
Professor Chamberlin's new assignment is interesting in view of the opinions he recently expressed in his chapter of "The Economics of the Recovery Program." In this chapter he advocates means of bringing about a general increase in purchasing power, not only for wage earners, but also for "farmers, dividend receivers, and business managers."

Beside his recent work, Chamberlin is author of a book on "The Theory of Monopolistic Competition...
...appointment of Professor Edward H. Chamberlin to serve with the Committee on Government Statistics and Information Services in Washington takes from Harvard one of the ablest of her younger economists. The nature of Mr. Chamberlin's prospective work is somewhat obscure, but there is probably good grounds for the view that his post is one whose importance depends wholly on its incumbent. Since Mr. Chamberlin's main interest has been in the regulation of monopolistic and what he terms "monopoloid" industries, his views should carry considerable weight, even with an Administration which does not enjoy the favor of the Seven...
