...Small League fry had no idea what he was saying, but big League wigs listened through earphones to simultaneous translations of the speech, getting it by the flick of a switch in either French or English. Everyone agreed that it was a great speech-one of the noblest, most factual, irrefutable and moving ever made before the League of Nations. Yet it was totally without effect on Geneva's sleek, hard, slippery statesmen...
...literary critic, Edmund ("Bunny") Wilson a few years ago found his position too academic in a day "when accuracy of insight, when courage of judgment, are worth all the names in all the books," went out of his study to take a look for himself. His subjective-factual report covers three years (1932-35), two countries (the U. S. and Russia). Parts of the U.

Only research and fact finding will be the function of the newly formed body

Businessmen make much of the facts that Milwaukee had 107 strikes in 1934, that the Mayor's secretary and one of his chief organizers have marched in picket lines and made fighting speeches to strikers, that the Mayor himself was reported to have said to a group of strikers: "We must demand our rights. God bless you, I hope you win." They were aghast when Socialist City Attorney...
