...accomplish his ends Coordinator Eastman offered three alternative solutions: 1) Government cooperation; 2) Government compulsion; 3) Government operation. Because of its potentialities for evil as well as good, he would postpone consideration of Government operation for the present. Compulsion he regards as neither desirable nor feasible. His choice: general co-operation between Government and private carriers, a slow but sure method the success of which depends largely on the attitude of railroad managements, and their willingness to change present railroad practice...
Whether or no United States membership in the League is intrinsically good or evil, is beside the point, a matter of personal opinion. One of the most disappointing aspects of the defeat of the recent Resolution is the lack of articulate opinion in favor of the Court, the pitifully loose organization of the Administration's forces in the Senate. Most significant of all, the President failed to take a strong stand on the issue. He had been informed the time was ripe for railroading the Resolutions, quietly through; the Senate; while considerable blame must be attached to the sources...
...more than an hour rambled the gentle oldster who, having seen much misery and evil in his lifetime as country doctor and health officer, had conceived a Plan to end it all.

Last year Ford sent a big exhibit to the second edition of the Chicago World's Fair and last week Ford sent Edsel to the Show in Manhattan, where he nervously munched cough drops through various salesmeetings. But the most impressive sign of Edsel's growing power...
...Another stop in the same direction, which would also help the system out of its present financial dilemma, would be to make tutorial work optional with students, regardless, however, of their group rating. Certainly no tutor should be burdened with a student who regards the work as a necessary evil and who prepares for his conferences with little or no enthusiasm. But to deprive worthy students of an opportunity to work with a tutor, as might happen if the Committee's suggestion was wrongly interpreted, would be abandon a policy that has made Harvard one of the foremost centers...
