...independent investigators have never checked up on the subject (for reasons that are rather obvious-namely, the tremendous expense of the apparatus) there is nothing to support Dr. Cunningham's statements or theories except his own unsupported word.... It is our personal belief that Dr. Cunningham, at any rate at the outset, was perfectly sincere and honest in his belief that he had stumbled on something. As is always the case, however, when some new method of treating human beings is carried out without any independent check or balances, there seems little doubt that Dr. Cunningham has allowed...
...China of Communism"; but those armies were in retreat last week toward Peking, driven from South China by the great "Nationalist" Generalissimo, Chiang Kai-shek (TIME, June 13). It seemed not unlikely that "Dictator" Chang was sounding last week the first brave notes of his swan dirge. At any rate, the Occidental diplomats at Peking did not honor his "inauguration" by their presence, seemed totally unimpressed.

...less than 6% of the estimated 1927 valuation. Dividend. New York Central directors last week announced a quarterly dividend of 2%. The annual dividend had been 1%; it is now 8%. Thus the N. Y.

After numerous surveys of broad cross sections of the population the tabulated results have inevitably pointed to a depressing state of race suicide among the classes best fitted sociologically. Mr. Phillips in his most recent study of the question advances along somewhat different lines, aiming at reproduction rates within one particular occupational group, --namely three graduating classes of Harvard College, 1899, 1900, and 1991. His findings...
...results of a thorough investigation of these specimens, too full to set down here, are clear-cut and conclusive, and show beyond question a higher birth-rate, marrage rate, and fecundity-rate, among the more successful classes, which points to numerical triumph over the less successful ones in the matter of reproduction. Groups one and two produce roughly on the average of twice s many children as Groups your and five...
