...catholicity of interest, a treasure-house and working-place for scholars. Here I wish especially to bring tribute to him as the great editor of "Foreign Affairs". When the Council on Foreign Relations established this journal, Profesors Coolidge was chosen as its editor because he was preeminently qualified by life-long preparation, recognized leadership, and easy mastery of an extraordinary range of knowledge in international affairs.

...Sturdy Secretary of Labor James J. Davis is proud of Pennsylvania. Born in South Wales, he moved to the little town of Sharon, Pa., finished his schooling at the age of eleven and went into the steel mills to earn a life-long respect for labor and laborers (TIME, Jan. 10). Last week came his turn to entertain President and Mrs. Coolidge at the last of the Cabinet dinners of the season, and he presented to them Pennsylvanians, Worthington Scranton of Scranton and a score of such stalwarts of the state...
