Comparable to F. D. R.'s "One Third of a Nation," hundreds of ill-housed graduate students are living out their Cambridge years in over-costly and inhospitable rooms. A few dozen of them have already taken refuge in the International House whose non-profit rates have packed the dollar with new buying power. Rooms that go for $5 or $6 a week on the usual Cambridge auction block have been reduced to $2.50. Meals are only $7.

On March 11, "War Sunday" had sounded the call to arms in the nation's churches. Four weeks before war the Railroad Brotherhoods said their threatened strike would be called off in event of war. Nicholas Murray Butler's Carnegie Endowment for International Peace had for several months been whooping up war spirit. Creel's hand was seen, however, in the speedy...
