...this country has not recognized Soviet Russia; in fact, a whole history of U. S. foreign policy could be appended. Four fundamentals of U. S. precedent in recognizing foreign governments are: 1) The government desiring recognition must be in de facto control; 2) There must be apparent popular acquiescence of the de facto government; 3) It must "manifest a disposition" to fulfill its international obligations; 4) It must have secured its power by constitutional means. (Policy No, 4 is a quibble, since scarcely any existing governments have attained power without some sort of "revolution" -although later, as in the case...
...Maryland that ardent letter-writer, Senator Ovington E. Weller, Republican, was defeated by Representative Millard E. Tydings, Democrat, who rode to victory on the wave of Wet-and-popular Governor Ritchie. Mr. Weller's campaign philosophy was that every voter would like to have a cheery letter from a U. S. Senator.

Food supply is a far greater factor in conserving game than are refinements upon the already adequate protective legislation.* Contrary to popular belief, the migratory game birds of the U. S. are not diminishing but increasing, according to the U. S. Biological Survey. This fact lately led Editor Clark Adams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, himself a keen hunter, to pen an article for the American Game Association entitled "The Hunted...
...naming the Shavian as winner, the Swedish Academy has not only shown its customary good judgment but it has also made what might be termed a concession to popular demand. Once hounded and reviled, Shaw is now at most a "lovable" character, with an enormous following. Time has proved many of his social radicalisms to have been sound and if he made false prophecies he also made lasting ones. When he announced his intention of writing a serious play built around the life of Joan of Arc, the critics laughed and settled back to await a Shavian monster, born...
