...There is a hunger and malnutrition emergency in this country today," resolved the conference. "Therefore, the President must immediately declare that a national hunger emergency exists and, under existing authority, must now free funds and implement programs to feed all hungry Americans this winter." After sounding that clarion for the immediate future, the conference went on to insist that "the overriding remedy for hunger and malnutrition is a minimum guaranteed adequate cash income with a floor of $5,500 annually (for a family of four).1' The delegates also called for expansion and reform of existing food programs...

The men who rob the hero and heroine of Isn't Life Wonderful are driven to their crime by hunger and, like the two leads, by marital love. They are as human, as noble, as anyone else. Satan goes through more intense emotional crises even than the deserted sweetheart of Sorrows. A true union of Angel and Man, he epitomizes the ideality present in the moral experience of all the characters...
