...amiable Robert Morss Lovett, Government-Secretary of the Virgin Islands, a New Republic editor for 18 years; Freda Kirchwey, editor of The Nation, the rival (74-year-old) liberal intellectual journal that looked exactly like the New Republic to outsiders, very different to liberal intellectuals. Present also were contributors, constant readers, free traders, isolationists, progressive educators, single taxers, practicing Marxists, disillusioned Marxists, poets, professors, publishers, all who believe themselves to be liberals, all who thus claim to fit into a category that nobody has satisfactorily defined...
...should like to state here, parenthetically but emphatically, that Herr Hitler's constant repetition of his desire for good relations with Great Britain was undoubtedly a sincere conviction. He will prove in the future a fascinating study for the historian and the biographer with psychological leanings. Widely different explanations will be propounded, and it would be out of place and time to comment at any length in this dispatch on this aspect of Herr Hitler's mentality and character. But he combined, as I fancy many Germans do, admiration for the British race with envy of their achievements...
...Author Cheney never once skids into histrionics, bitterness or those tones of romantic compassion which mar the larger talent of Steinbeck.

...free market demands a constant flow of purchasing power, and as the fatal kink in that flow under modern capitalism is unearned income derived from fixed interest rates, the kink should be straightened by a reduction-ultimately an extinction-of dividends and interest. Holdings of public institutions should be excepted. The trick would be turned gradually by cutting down on the rights of inheritance. In the end, business men would do their borrowing entirely from the government...
...they may, no strength and no artifice will ever succeed in banishing from the human life the ills and troubles which beset it. If any, there are those who pretend differently-- who hold out to a hard pressed people freedom from pain and trouble, undisturbed repose and constant enjoyment--then cheat the people and impose upon them their lying promises only making the evil worse than before. The high debt of 40 billion for a nation of 130,000,000 inhabitants together with over 10,000,000 unemployed should be much more our common concern than the happenings in Europe...
