...through the last 50 years such a Mittelland waterway has been dreamed of by pan-Germans, opposed by jealous pre-War German States. But last week when the last ditch, connecting Brunswick and Magdeburg, was officially opened up, no German raised his voice against it. Fear that Ruhr coal might start moving into markets supplied by Upper Silesia was quelled by a pfennig-per-ton-per-kilometer extra canal fee between Magdeburg and Hanover...
...paid dividends. President Atatürk, with the driving force of a dictator, built up a modern, mechanized army. That made Turkey sought after by Germany, France and England, as a powerful Near Eastern ally. His Government doubled the country's railroad mileage, started sugar and textile factories, coal and iron industries to make Turkey more self-sufficient. He ordered electrification and reforestation programs and began to build a merchant marine. His policy of "Turkey for the Turks'' largely eliminated the foreign capital, dominant during the Sultans' time...
...From Lincoln School in Manhattan, perhaps the top-ranking Progressive school in the U. S., which is subsidized by Rockefeller money and had two Rockefeller boys as students, groups of pupils last year went to visit coal mines, steel mills, farms, TVA.

But he stood with the New Deal on both the bills Franklin Roosevelt chose to regard as tests of Roosevelt liberalism, Reorganization and the Supreme Court Bill, which Bulkley defended over a nation-wide radio hookup. For this service he received a brief Presidential endorsement in his primary...
When Kansas Pipe Line & Gas Co. asked the Federal Power Commission fortnight ago for permission to build a 2,346-mile, $21,470,000 pipe line north through unpiped country to the Mesabi Iron Range in northern Minnesota, the National Bituminous Coal Commission, the United Mine Workers and various coal companies were swift to protest (TIME, Sept. 26). Last week the coal-men had new cause for worry. Also lured by the low-grade ores now lying undug at Mesabi for lack of cheap fuel to smelt them, Public Service Gas Co. of Montana asked FPC for permission to build...
