...farm tenancy, President Roosevelt sent his crop insurance committee's report to Congress with a temperate letter of recommendation. This newest New Deal plan to make life richer and safer for farmers differed from previous ones in that it was not to be launched on an imperial scale. Its authors proposed to begin with the 1938 wheat crop only, wait on time and experience before extending it to other staples...
...with her doctrine of "collective security," and of course by Russia. Dictator Stalin would be glad to sign an Eastern Pact with Germany but finds Der Fuhrer utterly cold to that. In the making of any pact for peace or war in Europe the weight of Britain in the scale of decision may well throw it one way or the other and last week the words uttered so casually by Rt. Hon.

The artificial ice-manufacture and its sprinkling over the big 60-meter jump, if it becomes necessary, will be setting a new mark in sporting annuals and the sight in itself will draw a host of spectators...
...lose, no race will be too hard for Harvey Love's Freshman crew. Apparently competition with the Yearlings will not suffice to test the mottle of the '40 boat. In the first year of the new coaching regime, it will untie the knets of nautical tradition to scale the plane of Varsity competition. However, graduated steps will lead up to this height: a race with Columbia and M.I.T. on May 8, and a four-cornered contest on May 15 with Cornell, M.I.T., and Syracuse...
