...program for Continental Solidarity against Fascism, Latin American response has been noncommittal and cautious. Cordell Hull will have to be equally cautious about defining the limits of the Good Neighbor Policy: there are bold Latin American spirits who, inspired by the absence of downright Dollar Diplomacy in the current U. S. attitude toward expropriations in Mexico and Bolivia, think the Good Neighbor is perhaps ripe to be plucked of all his property in their lands...
...Current slowdown was variously attributed to uncertainty over the new Congress, worry over international squabbles, timidity engendered by the start of the "opoly" hearings. More tangible is the point that the Government's spending, even though operating at a level $400,000,000 greater than last year, is again proving to be a mere teaser. All this greatly amused Germany's Reichsbank Governor Dr. Hjalmar Schacht.

But in Omaha, the Matthews Bookstore, biggest in the city, actively organizes book clubs, has been so successful that Omaha now boasts more of them than any city of its size in the U. S. Most influential is the Dundee. Complaining that there are not enough books with uplifting messages, Dundee...
...radio broadcast recently sponsored by the "Guardian," Frank S. Hopkins, a Nieman Fellow, declared that Congress should delegate to specialized bureaus and administrative agencies the detailed tasks such as fact-finding or investigations of current problems, "while retaining for itself the ultimate control over policies." Superficially this seems like an admirable proposal, but some thought about its possible ramifications reveals the fallacies...
