...international Theosophist Society, headless since the death of Mrs. Annie Besant last year (TIME, Oct. 2), elected as their new president Dr. George Sidney Arundale, 55, rugged onetime bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church in Australia. Long a student of Theosophy which at some points duplicates the occult tenets of Liberal Catholicism, Dr. Arundale has been a pedagog in India, a member of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, a Freeman of the City of London.

Whether he be the gin-drinking, neurotically erotic, three-gallons-of-gas-and-a-dark-lane sort, or the sweet grind sedulously poring his neuter way through dusty tomes, or one of the infinite gradations between, he is a sorry confection to send out into the great world to take his place in the ruling class. He has no ideals worthy of the name, and of most subjects...
...Danielian explained when reached late last night, "The suit is an attempt to frighten other publications from revealing the occult nature of the Associated Gas and Electric system and the oblique practices therein perpetrated. I have no further opinion to express. I wish, however, it were possible to sound out the feelings of the hundreds of thousands of investors who have been bewildered by the sophisticated use made of the corporate device...
