While the attitude of the British labor class is still unsolidified, it will soon emerge reflecting "bread-and-butter" objections--desire for wage increases to meet the rising domestic prices consequent with devaluation. So far Sir Stafford Cripps' 20 percent increase in profits taxes does no more than place an unreasonable burden on an already belabored people. The course of future British policy, in the long run, will be determined not in Parliament but in the coal mines, the factories and the union meetings. Britain's parties today have so much in common, a trait which is to a great...
...long last democracy of a sort has come to Quincy street. This year's Union Committee will be the first composed of men elected by the freshmen themselves, voting under a system put into effect by the newly approved Union Constitution. While incoming classes in the past have been served by a group appointed by the Dean's office in cooperation with Yard proctors, this fall each proctorial unit will elect its own representative.

Committeemen become leaders and gain useful experience for their labor, but they may be voted out of office if they miss meetings or go on probation, and they cannot campaign for other class offices...

But more than this, a successful Union Committee election would help show that the representative system can itself be successful...
Eleven is an ideal time for class, between breakfast and lunch, cramping neither. Gucrard, with a reputation of being an excellent but demanding lecturer, is giving Comp. Lit. 166, a half course in the "Forms of the Modern Novel." It could be a very good bet (Emerson D). Nock's History of Religions 101 is highly entertaining. Good to listen in on occasionally (Harvard 5). Kenneth Conant's Fine Arts 179, "American Architecture." is non-technical, not difficult, and excellent to audit. Slides and aucedotes (Fogg Large Room...
