...McCarter, head of the Edison Electric Institute (utility trade association). No one told what passed at the meetings except the President. He whispered to the Press that he had made it clear that if too much money had been invested in utility companies, the stockholders should take the loss in reduced dividends rather than consumers in high rates. He said also that the utility tycoons had not fought with him on that point...

If the employment of young men in war were prohibited-as the employment of young people in various dangerous occupations already is prohibited-then we should be acting with race-conscious logic...
...these are the factors which make up the life of Ann Garner from the time when her interest in a worldly existence is blotted out by the loss of her child. In describing them Agee is at his best. The verse moves smoothly and well, with no interruption for the rather fine thought of the poem.

"It may be wise," declared Chairman Baker, "to continue further the policy of liquidating German credits . . . even though such liquidation occasions further loss." More than $5,000,000 was used this year for write-off and reserves and Mr. Baker proposed to draw on surplus and undivided profits for an additional...
