Having voted on the income tax sections of its billion-dollar revenue bill (TIME, May 30), the Senate last week continued its long wrangle over inserting tariff provisions. Oil and coal duties had been adopted. Log-rolling logic and gentlemen's agreements now necessitated doing something for lumber and copper. Nebraska's Norris tried to break in with a revival of the Export Debenture to benefit farm products, insisted that some form of farm aid must go into the bill if tariff features were being added. He was brushed aside by a vote of 46-10-23. Lumber...
...indictment, however, can easily be pushed further by anyone who cares to examine the program announced by the National Students League. Its preamble, in particular, is an excellent example of Communist doctrine, with the logic of Communism carefully deleted and the idea of the "inevitability of revolution" characteristically emphasized. All the standard patter is there, adopted at second hand from the best authorities. For example, we are told that "pacifism (is) thus revealed as a conscious process of capitalist imperialism,"--by the defection of individual pacifists during the war.

Lock & Logic? The speculative logic of a Baker nomination at Chicago rests squarely upon a convention deadlock such as seemed to be in the making last week.

...Maurois has become too well acquainted with his subject to be other than grateful. That is why the aloof sarcasm of Strachey is largely absent. Mr. Maurois attempts at all times to understand. In "A Private Universe" he gives advice to young Frenchmen departing for England and America. "Give logic a rest while you are over there," he tells the first. "But enjoy the general spectacle." To the second: "Fashion within yourself an America of which you will be worth: that is the only America you will discover...
...works of Charles L. Dodgson, who wrote under the pseudonym of "Lewis Carroll", and in addition to his collection of Dodgson's books, constructed a toy theater, in which he used miniatures of the characters in "Alice in Wonderland". Armory cared little for the pamphlets on mathematics and logic, which the versatile Dodgson published, and was, for the most part, concerned with the changing types of illustrations used in the various editions of "Alice...
