TIME'S account of the fall of Singapore, especially the paragraphs headed "Whose fault?" certainly makes Hendrik Willem van Loon out to be a prophet...
...Congressional stampede which was to draw all attention away from the Murray plan. They took the fact that New Jersey was producing at 51 per cent below capacity because the factories were not working on the second and third shift, and came out with the tremendous lie that the fault lay in the 40-hour-a-week law.

There is no reason why he should be expected to make a survey single-handed of the myriad opportunities open to college men, when even the Public Relations office has not found time for it.
