...free enterprise in behalf of political belief (no matter how unpopular at the hour). The NSA uncompromisingly supported the right of such groups as AYD to exist with official recognition so long as they meet standard local extracurricular requirements. On the question of discrimination in professional training and quota systems in undergraduate schools the NSA decided upon a policy of bringing the light of publicity to bear upon the facts-when they can be winnowed out-and simply urging each campus to take whatever action is feasible. Here the delegates saw striking illustration of that crying need which...
...days of the late Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, the "banzais" of sword-shaking Japanese drowned out their more intelligent countrymen. The world of the '305 and the '405 had no chance to learn that modern Japan has also produced a fair quota of writers, thinkers and even humorists.

Get going, said the Cabinet and hang the expense...
Domestic growers were unanimously pleased with it. They should have been. Their quotas were boosted a generous 20% above their average 1936-45 output. And they were promised subsidies if they were good enough to stay within their quotas. On the other hand, foreign producers in such countries as Peru got quota cuts. Though small, these cuts will put a painful crimp in their dwindling dollar balances. And Cuba, though it got an increased quota, was also saddled with a clause which, in effect, threatened revocation of her quota if she failed to settle any private claims that U.S. nationals...
