Last week, while the 75th Congress hustled through the last busy hours of a four-and-a-half-month session (see p. 10), Franklin Roosevelt suffered from traveler's itch. Finally came the hour when he could send a message to Congress saying he had "no further business" for it.

Once more Father Roosevelt was off to one of those family ceremonies which...
These young men of Harvard are but a tiny fraction of the 148,000 others who are graduating from the colleges and universities of America this month.

The complete sluggishness of business was demonstrated by its ever-waning interest in commercial loans. In New York City, an apparent reversal of the trend-an almost unparalleled rise of $465,000,000 in bank credit- was actually a confirmation of the condition. The temporary fluctuation was caused by banks (having more & more difficulty in finding investments) buying up huge quantities of maturing Treasury obligations so as to be able to turn them...
