...such innocuous matters as goodwill, race relations, broadcasting, finance, education, etc. etc. But large questions loom. Has the Federal Council been too liberal in its talk, as in the guarded Birth Control pronouncement which caused the Southern Presbyterians to withdraw, the Northern Presbyterians, Northern Baptists and United Lutherans to threaten withdrawal (TIME, June 15, 1931 et seq.)? Should the Protestant Mouthpiece be muffled, be supervised more closely by the individual denominations?

S. companies to form Radio Corp. in 1919 to keep ownership of the Alexanderson Alternator and other important radio patents within...
...people of the United States are now confronted with an emergency more serious than war. Misery is widespread, in a time, not of scarcity, but of overabundance. The long-continued Depression has brought unprecedented unemployment, a catastrophic fall in commodity prices and a volume of economic losses which threatens our financial institutions. Some people believe that the existing conditions threaten even the stability of the capitalistic system. Economists are searching for the causes of this disorder and are re-examining the bases of our industrial structure...
