...late, crusading Lincoln Steffens. Long famed as one of Hollywood's brightest Pinks, Jimmy Cagney's public deeds have been nothing more daring than an occasional contribution to strikers and active leadership in the Screen Actors' Guild. But last week he and such other notably social-conscious cinemactors as Fredric March, Chester Morris, Franchot Tone, Joan Crawford, Jean Muir and Edward Arnold were debating something really big-a strike of the Guild which would shut every film studio down tight. While a committee headed by President Robert Montgomery negotiated the Guild's demands with representatives...

On his daily horseback rides through Copenhagen, the King of Denmark nods to civilians, salutes ladies, chats with small boys or truckdrivers- and obeys traffic lights-not with the self-conscious condescension that is forced upon British royalty but with the mutually respectful understanding of a company's top executive and a minor employe.

Nationality and race cannot bear confusion. Contrary to the general opinion, or prejudice, are records of powerful Negro kingdoms in East and West Africa. For centuries Negroes have been skilled iron-workers; in 1500 they did bronze casting to perfection. Much of India's civilization is owed to Negroes. Seventy years of emancipation for the American Negro are no fair test of his capacity. See how Europeans estimated...
