...Pinchot's pained surprise. The Blue Eagle is an eagle without talons, whether or not there be compliance boards in every hamlet in the republic. The Blue Eagle forfeited its hopes for even a temporary success when it backed down on collective bargaining, which is the only sane path to industrial democracy. It did not back down because the President was losing courage, or because the great interests had an undue influence on the formation of his policy. It backed down because it was making pretensions to something which it did not have, and something which, if it had been...
...pressing need for funds has made the continued support of Red Top impossible under the 1934 budget of the H.A.A. Mr. Bingham has adopted a very sane attitude towards the problem. He recommends that an endowment fund be raised immediately, the whole plant put in the hands of a group of trustees, who would oversee the endowment and take care of the upkeep costs and taxes.

...salve, in story form, on the installment buying system by William Trufant Foster; and a very, very conventional restatement of the silver argument, this time called "Honest Inflation," by one Edward Tuck. The most valuable contribution to Scribners comes from V. F. Calverton.

...have decided that at least one scapegoat must be retained. Van der Lubbe is not now of much use to the Brownshirts, for even they admit that he could have had no connection with the German Communist Party except as a dupe, and the Dutchman in his startling but sane moments confessed to having fired the Reichstag quite unaided by any of the other defendants, and since the main objective of the trial is to prove the guilt of the Reds and the white-as-driven-snow innocence of the Nazis, it is necessary to have one self-declared Communist...
