Harvest, her 21st translated book, is little more than a literary scrap-book- Swedish and Biblical legends, reminiscences, travel sketches, reprinted speeches.

Stout Republicans and staunch Democrats possess insidious forebodings that such a powerful triumvirate may not be as harmless and as purposeless as it seems, with the 1936 elections looming not so far ahead. It will be remembered that the Hearst Syndicate was solidly behind Honest John Garner and solidly opposed to Roosevelt until the latter's nomination seemed a foregone conclusion in the Democratic convention. It must be realized that the good Father's flock of some millions...
