...little wonder that national "issues" have had less political effect than national events. The cost of Government, the centralization of Government, how Labor should be freed and Industry regulated have concerned practical politicians far less than such hard facts as Depression during early 1938 (and Recovery this fall), low farm prices, distribution of relief cash, the growing clamor of oldsters for pensions...

S. and abroad, were at the year's low, consumption at the year's high. Foreign orders for rearmament last month were 137,298 tons, highest ever. In the U.
