...banning the "Children's Hour" would be laughable if it were not so astoundingly narrow-minded and tyrannical. Mayor Mansfield posing as a dramatic critic, of course, cuts an absurd figure. But when censorship of a play like the "Children's Hour" is the result, amusement gives place to disgust. Possibly the Mayor, being an elected official, has vaguely heard of something called democracy, and its implication of free choice, particularly in intellectual matters.

Workers, beware! Sanctions may develop into war and a conflict between imperialisms is not worth the life of a single worker...
Month ago the Depression-made hair-shirt of popular disgust formerly worn in North America by Herbert Hoover was transferred to Canada's rich and pious Conservative Premier Richard Bedford Bennett, an able and aggressive businessman who neither drinks nor smokes but has been seen by intimates to extract furtively from the bottom drawer of his desk a chocolate cream. In desperation good Mr. Bennett attempted briefly to ape President Roosevelt's New Deal (TIME. Jan. 14) but this was dead in Canada last week and all but forgotten. From the first, Canada's alert voters sensed...
