While these are drastic measures, they are even more necessary. They will be met by determined opposition on the part of workers and owners, but the interests of both must bow to the public interest which is here paramount. The railroads' cry for "immediate financial relief" constitutes a crisis; and this can be met satisfactorily only by a conference of the three parties concerned--government (representing the people), employers, and employees--from which will emerge a plan which at least approximates these most desirable measures...
Delhi broadcasts in Urdu and Hindi. And A.I.R. hopes for a lingua franca that would make broadcasts from Delhi understandable to all of India. Stuck with the job of making radio interest the ryot is India's Radio Chief Lionel Fielden.

...Nieman Fellows have been labeled by many newspapermen as "too idealistic to succeed." They older systems of education were idealistic, but today's keynote is realism. This changed viewpoint is the reason why many alumni taught under the older system wail loudly at the glaring lack of interest in culture at present. The spell-binders of yore are disappearing in the teaching ranks as surely as the undergraduate "dabbler" of the nineties. Harvard education is in the throes of a catharsis, and the University must expect to defend itself from the attacks of those who have been through a less...
