...Germany last week nothing was clearer than that Realmleader Hitler either cannot or will not cause Nazis to desist from their attack upon Jesus Christ. The attack last week was in fuller, more exuberant cry than at any time since the Nazis took power. It was more vituperative than China's anti-foreignism of 1926-27, and was exceeded in blasphemy only by Soviet Russia's campaign against all religion a decade...
...average American, the name Soviet Russia brings a confused impression of endless steppes, brutish peasants, close-massed regiments marching by the tomb of Lenin, and occasional academic debates on the five-year plan. In-"Out of Chaos," Ilya Ehrenbourg has added to this impression, brought in to clearer focus, and produced an interesting tabloid view of both the human and production side of the Russia of the present...
...monthly crop report of the Department of Agriculture was released three days early to give relief officials a clearer picture of the catastrophe. On the basis of June 1 estimates the U. S. would have its shortest wheat crop since 1893, not more than 500,000,000 bu. of winter and spring wheat. The winter wheat estimate was 61,000,000 bu. below the previous month's report.

...gruesome story comes into clearer light when Miss Taggart, supervisor of nurses and Tammany election captain confesses that each year a large number of people from the Home register and vote illegally. Tammany is only incidentally sadistic; as over, the fundamental motive is the aggrandizement of the Hall, a chase which hesitates at no means to achieve its end. Its long reign of power has made Tammany careless, and Mayor LaGuardia's investigations are gradually developing a complete picture of its makeup and methods. The people of New York may tolerate graft and financial corruption as unavoidable evils, but, cynical...
