This step should please those who adopt the fruit-root attitude, who look for the cause of tutoring in fundamental faults in the Harvard system. Of course, the examination problem will have to be gone over more thoroughly in the future, for there is much to be done here. Moreover, the other half of faculty responsibility--lapses in instruction--is crying for investigation. But this step means progress in the struggle against the schools in the Square...
...four Oslo Powers do not have the same German problem. Norway, Sweden and Finland have some protection against Germany in the Baltic Sea. Denmark has a common 42-mile border with the Nazis. Furthermore, in the 1,500-square-mile province of North Schleswig, Denmark owns territory that, from 1864 to 1918, belonged to Germany.

S. cotton problem. That problem is basically the loss of foreign markets, for the U. S. used to export two-thirds of its annual crop, now exports only one-third. Alabama's Bankhead (Tallulah's uncle) has an answer in the form of export subsidies but the Senate last week turned it down, largely because the subsidies would directly benefit...
