...will not trust business to mind its own affairs, is not a business. In spite of the Administration's anti-trust tirades and its plans for lower daily wages for the building trades, for reorganization of untenable capital structures like the railroads, when it came to the point it has shied away from meeting deflation by the orthodox means of scaling down monopolistic high prices, disproportionate wages and interest charges. "Because it is unpopular to readjust by liquidation and politically inconvenient to revise its policies," summed up Pundit Walter Lippmann last week, "the Administration has come back...
...remarkable as the wide differences in the two bills was a fundamental similarity of purpose: to lift some of the tax pressure from the point at which wealth is ventured. To many an economist this seemed the surest possible way of offering capital the fullest inducement to get busy and help itself out of the current depression. That the tax reforms crossed the Administration's three-year policy was a matter which did not seem greatly to concern Congress...
...fundamental purpose of the Guide has always been to serve the incoming Freshmen by offering them the opinion of students with regard counter in their first year at Harvard.

But every effort is made not only to be scrupulously fair to every course and every instructor, but also, through careful choice of a cross section...
...Guide attempts neither to locate easy courses and kind-hearted section men for lazy students, nor to provide a catalogue based upon the lazy man's point of view, panning stiff courses and praising easy ones. The fact is that at Harvard there are no courses which are easy in the absolute sense. Some are easier than others, and some are of more value than others to the average student; but none are simple or valueless. With this in mind their relative worth can be approximated; and the criteria used include the organization of course material, its interest...
...Girl of the Golden West." In spite of her ragged clothes and her western twang (which miraculously disappears now and then), she is as out of place in her crude surroundings as William Randolph Hearst at a Communist meeting. Nelson Eddy, back from his ill-fated venture at West Point, has also been democratized; but the results in his case are all for the good. The story is very far-fetched, and suffers from an insipid happy ending; but Sigmund Romberg's excellent music, sung as only Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy can sing, together with a good supporting cast...
