...expect him to do so. If war comes, Mr. Hitler will bear a heavy burden of guilt, but in that guilt we cannot include charges of contempt for an organization which weighs so little as the League with its own members, which is to everyone only an ambiguous symbol of pacifism, the receptacle for a shrinking pennyworth of good international intentions...

Japanese affectionately call 78-year-old Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi "Daruma" after the pot-bellied Buddhist sage, symbol of good luck. Just now he is carrying on with the most colossal and appallingly unbalanced budget in Japanese history. Since Japan quit the gold standard (TIME, Dec. 21, 1931) her yen has fallen to 36% of its par gold value but there has been no monetary inflation, no starting of the Japanese Treasury's printing presses. Last week Mr. Takahashi, who in his youth indentured himself to an Oakland, Calif, farmer to work for three years for a total wage...

...useless for long to come. Trust busting he converted into a mammoth and gaudy college yell, and then left it, imprisoned in the toils of a witless and unenforceable law, to the kind of animate death in which it survives. The third party became in his hands a symbol of perfidy to the politicians, and a testimony to the populace that only by the two party system could the gods be appeased, and water and honey made to flow in the land. But he kept face through it all, kept face by being unique among discredited statesmen in that...

...appearance of Hoover Geheimrat on a Boston silver screen today was the touchstone for a truly inspiriting burst of applause. It was almost as if the new era had not already become the old one, and brought back many memories of the days before the Geheimrat was a grand symbol of spoof, a kind of national jest in apostolic succession to the mother-in-law. Castor diagnosed this as a popular reaction to personal success after personal failure, a sense of comfortable relief among us that he will not be the traditional ex-president, heavy on the national conscience...

...theory had reached such a stage that electrons (which Maxwell did not know existed) had to be considered as waves as well as corpuscles-hence as abstractions. Reduced to its simplest terms, Professor Bern's latest work elevates them to the status of physical entities. By introducing a symbol to represent the electron's radius, by investing the electron with the four Einsteinian dimensions of time & space (which are handled symmetrically as four independent variables), Professor Born has made the old theory and the new lie down side by side in the same equation...
