...fact, the Labor Ministers of all shades of Socialism are being inexorably driven toward more & more drastic policies by the logic of their drastic Socialist premises and the pressure of Britain's crisis. Labor Minister George Isaacs last week issued an order that seemed to breathe authoritarian fire. Under Isaacs' ukase he can direct British men & women without jobs, and those in industries considered unessential, to register and to take jobs in essential industries...

At the University of Illinois, he got a job teaching logic ("horse sense made asinine," Bode now calls it). A few years later, he was appointed professor of education at Ohio State University.

But the outlook for favorable action on Mr. Truman's proposal for measures to stop inflation at home is dark indeed. Although the President actually gave "inflation curbs" top listing on his agenda, several Congressmen have declared their intent to introduce tax reduction measures as soon as Congress assembles. It is generally conceded that any overall tax reduction would release more money to be spent in an already inflated...
