Before he was Governor of New York, Franklin Roosevelt spotted Professor Moley on the State Crime Commission, decided he would be a useful citizen to keep within calling distance. Mr. Roosevelt was impressed with his ability to assemble political facts; liked his fresh political outlook. Here was no cut & dried college professor wedded to the past but rather an agreeable, cultured man who was itching for a chance to put his academic theories on government into prac tice, a man of thoughtful independence who could admire Tammany's Boss Murphy and still vote for Socialist Norman Thomas...
...fairly optimistic outlook for the future is offered by the projected inflation program," stated Mayor Curley in a CRIMSON interview yesterday. "It is absolutely necessary," continued the Mayor, "that higher prices be received for agricultural products as well as other commodities. There can be no prosperity in America until the condition of the farmer becomes prosperous. The agricultural element represents one fourth of the nation, and it is upon this element that the remaining three quarters is dependent.

It is an example of the sort of precipitate absurdity which has for years furnished Mr. Mencken with subjects for his articles, and which has created all the connotations which attach to the word, "America...
When Henry Cantwell Wallace went to Washington as Harding's Secretary of Agriculture in 1921, he thought he was confronted with the worst farm crisis in U. S. history. But the agricultural outlook that year was almost rosy compared to that which now faces his son in the same job. Father Wallace, sandy-haired, squarejawed, was less conservative than his Republican colleagues in the Cabinet. He openly favored the McNary-Haugen bill as a means of dumping farm surpluses abroad and might have sold its principle to the White House, but for the persistent opposition of Secretary of Commerce...
