...unfair labor practices under the Wagner Act. A Federal district court had held that a contract by which the corporation granted a closed shop to an A. F. of L. union was valid and must be obeyed. The Board flatly declared the contract was "void and of no effect" and must be ignored (TIME, Sept. 13). Last week the Board carried the controversy a step farther only to make a monkey of itself...
...second way to emphasize that his personal attention had been restored to the islands, he had another proposal. Strongest political opposition comes from the Philippines' Popular Front-coalition of Left politicians, who are agreed that the Quezon presidency is in effect dictatorship. To forestall any chance that the Popular Front might develop a dangerous opposition among Philippine workers, Manuel Quezon proposed to up wages 62? a day in Manila, 25? in the provinces. Political observers familiar with Filipino political tactics construed this as a classic example of Quezon's political guile. During his trip...

Last week government ownership of railways finally went completely into effect in France when the Popular Front Government took over control of six private roads, merged them with two other lines the nation already operated. Since 1931 France has underwritten some $1,050,000,000 annually in losses for these six private systems. In the future the government will hold 51% of the new capitalization, including a $1,046,000,000 assessment for the private lines, and private shareholders will have virtually no say in their operation...
Drainage of U. S. breeding lands had another effect. It left those regions completely vulnerable to floods and droughts. Flood and drought control measures now-being executed with CCC and WPA labor are, fortunately for sportsmen, ideal for restoring duck grounds, and vice versa. Principal engineering problem is to impound and regulate waters in rivers, lakes, marshes. Equally important is the planting of trees to help prevent erosion. Thus in the past three years 200 duck refuges have been created on previously useless land. Last year, for the first year in many, more ducks returned to the breeding grounds than...
