...long-term capital advances, such as commercial bankers should not make. Last week President Roosevelt began to see the bankers' point. To his study he called Governor Black of the Federal Reserve, Secretary Morgenthau of the Treasury. With them he discussed the wisdom of setting up intermediate credit banks to lend to industry. What he wanted to know: How costly would such banks be? How badly were they needed...
...Standard News (Brooklyn and suburbs), and City News Bureau of Chicago (pop.: 3,380,000). It was organized 40 years ago, and, like A. P., is supported by weekly assessments on its ten members.* The most anonymous news service in the world, it never receives credit in print, never gives or gets a byline.

My opinion would blast all previous ones of the superiority of the stage. Miss Sidney, and Mr. March are truly geniuses in "Good Dame...
...coming to be taken for granted that, next to Wall Street, the present Soviet government has more bad guesses on international issues chalked up to its credit than any other important body extant. This time they were not guilty of picking the wrong horse: they seem to have escaped it by ignoring the race altogether. Though the orators at the meeting of the Third International and again at the All-Union Congress of the Party aired the customary phrases concerning the world revolution and the deepening contradictions of the capitalist order, the government either was not fully aware...
