...Corp., hundred-million-dollar group-banking unit (TIME, Sept. 30). It also was partly a Marine Midland holding company and partly an investment trust. Inasmuch as the bankers and the utility men were operating in the same northern New York district there was be tween them an obvious geographical com munity of interest. It is also true that both Niagara Share and Marine Union collided with the 1929 Stockmarket collapse, securities for which Niagara had paid some $100,000,000 during the year having declined to a value of some $70,000,000 at its close and securities for which...
Suspicious Eye. Not so friendly to the treaty was Maine's Senator Frederick Hale, chairman of the Naval Affairs Com mittee. A Big-Navy man, Senator Hale called his committee together to make an independent inquiry into its effects upon the Navy. The Hale hearings have no official standing, are for the patent pur pose of drumming up treaty opposition, if any, by staging a publicity sideshow.

Composer Bloch is regarded by many as the greatest U. S. composer.* Yet his livelihood has had to come largely from teaching-from 1920 to 1925 as director at the Cleveland Institute...
...while modernistic art may or may not be valuable, it is undeniably fashionable in the U. S., and this is due in no small measure to the increasing publicity and support given it by U. S. art critics. But you will not find Royal Cortissoz in the fervid com-pany which swirls in adulation around recent esthetic figures. Post-Impressionism and other modern cults and coteries are not sacred to him. In the March Scribner's, he regretfully says farewell to the magazine, which is hereafter to appear without illustrations and, hence, without Critic Cortissoz. But chiefly he devotes...
