Through the quick and unselfish efforts of Dr. Mendieta, and with the aid of Dr. Dodds of Princeton, the Cuba political horizon has cleared considerably. If the December elections come off as scheduled and with a minimum of violence and disturbance, Cuba will rapidly forge ahead and regain her former peace and prosperity. Her friendship and cooperation will be a vital and immeasurable aid to the United States in formulating and maintaining our Latin-American policy during the years to come...
Paying his first visit to the U. S., British Novelist James Hilton (Lost Horizon, Goodbye, Mr. Chips,) announced: "I want to see the obvious things in America." Driving down Manhattan's Park Avenue next day he nearly ran over a policeman with a drawn revolver, was warned to keep his distance because there might be "some shooting."

He refuses absolutely to admit that our capitalist system is capable of amelioration through peaceful self-regulation...
...impossible not to admire the political astuteness of the veteran senator, it seems transparently obvious that "trust-busting" is not of such pressing importance as issues suggested by colonel Roosevelt's reply. The defict, taxation, Bureaucracy, unemployment--to name only a few--loom larger on the political horizon. Senator Borah did a public service when he attacked the NRA from the standpoint of free competition. But by helping to clip the eagle's wings, he destroyed in large part the value of his present thesis...
