...Moscow grim smiles last week greeted U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Arthur Mastick Hyde's naïve idea (TIME, Sept. 29) that Dictator Stalin "cannot" throw actual grain into the World market to cover his short sales because right now "the Russians find it necessary to ration their own people and to shoot men for forging food cards!" This is exactly what Moscow's "Man of Steel" can do, is doing, will continue to do up to a purposeful point. When the Russian stomach begins to feel the pinch it is and will be convenient to execute...

But these cases, said the Commission, were mostly not willful ones. Mr. Julian, said the Attorney General's office, will be cited later, alone...
...whole trend of his argument is against the practice of forcing the preparatory school to become a mere sausage machine that turns out a uniform procession of automatons stuffed with a scientifically balanced ration of minutiae. The danger is, however, that in attempting to avoid this evil by relying on the preparatory school to provide a sound background without the scourge of the College Boards, the matter of the varying quality of the various secondary schools is neglected. And in addition to this, under Dr. Snedden's plan the requirements of individual colleges are given no consideration. The result...
