Last week certain people in Milwaukee were saying, as they have said many a time in the past, that Mr. Hoan wants to destroy the U. S. Home. For Mr. Hoan is not a wholesale grocer or an insurance salesman but the longtime Socialist Mayor of the twelfth city of the land...
Half-sympathetic toward the Spanish peasant's belief that Jesuits and Rightist politicians are to blame for peasant poverty, squat, sack-faced Republican Premier Manuel Azaña last week moved to end the violence. He called in Socialist Leader Francisco Largo Caballero, roared at him to call off his mobs, was met with evasions. He issued a decree re-seizing for distribution to the peasants lands which Spain's Left Government had seized in 1932 and which its Right Government had returned to the grandees...
...thing Left-Centre Premier Azaña knew that he could not do was to crack down on the Left mobsters of the Socialist and Communist parties, whose 99 seats in the new Cortes, added to the 165 seats of his own Republican parties, give him his mandate.

Longtime members of England's famed Fabian Society, Beatrice and Sidney Webb have grown old together in the Socialist faith. Their compendious, accurate, statistical books have been their well-brought-up children. As busy as ants', and no noisier, they have never mounted a soapbox nor slapped a policeman in their lives. Bernard Shaw was the wisecracking Fabian whip; the Webbs were the wheel horses. Climax to their plodding career came in 1929, when the Labor Government made Sidney Webb...
