...respect the March issue can lay claim to novelty. In contrast with what might have become an undesirable tradition, no faculty contributions are included this time. Curiously enough, the result has not been a decline in substance. But the absence of faculty contributions makes more conspicuous what has been noticeable in past issues: that the Guardian reflects a mood sterner than the youth of its sponsors would suggest.

Last month the National Labor Relations Board remarked that reports of labor news contrast markedly with ''inadequate reporting of labor disputes" before 1935, when the Wagner law was enacted. "Many of these [labor reporters]," said NLRB, "have been led to probe beneath the exterior dramatics of strike stories into conscientious study of the complicated social dilemma involved in every labor dispute, however small...
