Whether or not it be true that, as Wheeler asserts, approval of the enlargement plan will destroy the President, his further contention that liberal principles will be frittered away by this stop-gap legislation is highly logical. That a liberal of such long-standing as Senator Wheeler stands by this opinion is helpful to more conservative opposition forces. Even this unlooked-for support is overshadowed by that of Justice Brandeis, however, and the marshalling of liberal opinion behind the well-reasoned stand of these men can make for a strong coalition against the President's paternalism...
Certainly American history as a study to prepare the youth for the great big world is superior to Vassar's course in marriage and allied problems, which is supposed to bridge the gap between "Shakespeare and having a baby." Or to Columbia's course in "wrestling, judo, and self-defence."

Costing 25? a copy, containing 48 pages and no advertisements, it had endowed itself liberally with characteristics of both the publications it aimed to miss. Its cover and typography, its centre section of long corporation stories on Western Union, Sikorsky Aircraft and Promoter George L. Berry, were strongly reminiscent of FORTUNE. Its general run of financial news stories (leading article of Vol. 1 No. 1 was the automobile strike) sounded much like the Journal...
