...intention of implying that the people in the U. S. are less pacific now than they were when they turned against the League of Nations. But that they are less inclined toward isolation and more inclined to collective action, TIME, considering recent public polls and public utterances of prominent Congressmen, trade unionists, editors, liberals and Democratic wheel-horses, does not doubt...
...running cost for the moving sidewalk would be only for the flick of a switch, morning and night, and for the electricity. Furthermore, each trip on the shuttle would save a Representative one minute-one and a half if he helped himself along by walking. Total saving to 435 Congressmen in an average of three round trips per day: 3.915 member-minutes. Minutes, say U. S. Representatives, are worth money...

He does not plan to lose any of his present Congressmen. He hopes to gain six seats in New England (two each in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut). Gallup Poll gives the G. O.

The Committee expects eight new Congressmen from the corn & wheat belt...
