...fear of the government's using the program as an opening wedge in a sly campaign to take over Harvard, because no federal officials will be given any direct say in the selection of workers or jobs; all that will come from Washington is manna. Finally, it cites the cogent fact that N.Y.A. is no longer a temporary scheme, likely to be dropped in any session of Congress, for the Work Program enjoys the support of both political parties and a secure position in the Federal Security Agency. After describing how N.Y.A. would supplement the T.S.E. and how it would...
Britain's case against India is that India must help to preserve the Empire, for if the Empire falls India will become a prey to less enlightened powers. After victory will come Dominion status. Behind this reasoning lies the cogent fact that one-fourth of Britain's overseas wealth is invested in this brightest jewel in her crown.

Camps and Vamps. Whether or not the Rev. Mr. Swomley had a cogent argument against conscription, the Army's vice problem was bound to expand along with the expanding Army. Chief of Staff George C. Marshall last fortnight remarked the "influx of persons of questionable reputation" into towns near growing Army posts, begged for local cooperation in keeping soldiers' amusement clean. The American Social Hygiene Association, culling reports from scores of undercover investigations, estimated that by last week 50,000 trulls were on defense duty. The U. S. Public Health Service, anxious to prevent a rise in venereal...
