...Princetonian editorial staff upholds the policy of modification but has not yet arrived at a solution. In an attempt to gather facts and opinions before holding a college poll on the question the news department has solicited statements from men closely connected with the question and has succeeded in finding a great deal of evidence on both sides of the question. Thus far the general sentiment is in favor of modification but not necessarily in favor of total abolition...
...What more sacrifices are there for me to make to save the companies from the destruction and dismemberment of receivership into which their powerful enemies are bent upon plunging them?" Cineman William Fox asked this question last week-another appeal to his stockholders, perhaps the last before they gather on March 5 to decide the fate of Fox Films & Fox Theatres.

The only primitive factor remaining is the labor-cheap labor that can be bought for about 30? a day. Loinclothed natives do most of the work. They slit the rubber tree's bark, gather the soft flowing latex, load it into tank cars. This type of worker has no pride in his job, nor does he become devoted to the boss directly over him. Yet last week perhaps a few of the natives working on some 46,000 acres of Goodyear Rubber Plantation...
