...Premier made clear that last week he was neither backing nor encouraging a German move into Czechoslovakia-quite the reverse. Less interested in downing Jews than in upping Italians, Benito Mussolini has long pursued a campaign to make his countrymen proud of their race, turn Italians with an inferiority complex into "Romans." The Moscow News's cartoonist observed in this move definite signs of race-proud Nazi incubation. This work of creating 20th Century Romans was handed over last week to a new department under Minister of the Interior Benito Mussolini named the Superior Council for Democracy and Race...
Wholly successful moving pictures are the consequence of a collaboration too complex for analysis. Nonetheless, if the Motion Picture Academy fails to award Director Capra its prize for his first picture since Lost Horizon, most critics will be justified in surmising that its only excuse will be that he has already won it twice before. Known for his knack of inventing "business," Director Capra was faced with the supreme test in a play that was already as full of business as a beehive. How thoroughly he passed it can best be judged by the fact that his shrewd cinema editing...
...More complex than ordinary posters in that they interpret abstract political aims, the Renau montages are best on the simplest points.

Economists have about the same fun drawing conclusions from the weekly reports of the Federal Reserve System as scientists do drawing new diagrams of the atom. On one series of the complex Federal Reserve statistics all commentators are agreed-that the rise and fall of commercial loans by U. S. banks is usually a good measure of business activity. Thus, all through Depression II the volume of credit issued to business has fallen (with occasional minor reversals) some $20,000,000 a week in New York City, another $20,000,000 in the rest of the U. S. Last week...
...never practiced law in St. Louis, and he became, in his own eyes at least, a failure. He also became the most puzzling and complex of American men of letters-a politician who was also an expert in medieval architecture, a novelist who wrote under a pseudonym and accused his friends of writing his books, a leading historian who announced flatly that histories were all lies, an amateur geologist, economist, photographer and naturalist, and an author whose two masterpieces were published despite his strenuous efforts to suppress them...
