Stalin's Generals. Not so confusing as it at first appears is the fact that Spanish Communists and the Soviet officials assisting them are doing everything in their power to prevent Leftist Spain from going too Red. Communism, by Steel Man Stalin's present definition, is primarily for Russian consumption. A Fascist Spain would be a tragedy for Moscow, but alienating France and Britain would be a tragedy too. To suit Stalin, the social revolution in Spain must wait or move slowly until threats of war to the Soviet Union from Germany and Japan are ended. Among...
Last year the U. S. steel industry spent $320,000,000 for plants and equipment. Last week the American Iron & Steel Institute estimated that the total for 1938 will be only $165,000,000. This figure seemed small when U. S. Steel Corp. last week announced that it was borrowing $50,000,000 in cash from ten New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago banks for construction purposes.

...husky, tall section of wall. It is part of the once proud structure opposite Phillips Brooks House, and towering fragment of loose bricks as it is, it stands stark and alone, the very last piece of Hemenway's walls. The boys, about six of them, drag a heavy steel cable across the ruins of the foundations and try to wrap it around the tall, narrow piece of wall. They cannot hitch it on high enough to get effective leverage. The other end of the cable is bent onto the bumper of a heavy dump truck...
