...nation whose citizens trade and travel-that is to say, no nation which lives in neighborhood with other nations -need consider whether or not it will be a member of the community of nations. It cannot help itself. It may be a good member or a bad member, but it is a member by reason of the simple fact of neighborhood life and intercourse. The Bolshevik rulers of Russia are illustrating this. They have been trying to repudiate all the obligations resulting from their country's membership in the community of nations, and one result is that intercourse...
Lessons for Revolutionists. Negro Manning Johnson, once a party member and now a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy, came to testify. Before he deserted the Reds, because "they were trying to exploit the Negroes," Johnson was a member of the party's Trade Union Unity League, whose job it was to fight the A.F.L. He had spent three months in a Manhattan training school for revolutionists...
That change of attitude showed, as nothing else could, the progress of Jackie Roosevelt* Robinson in the toughest first season any ballplayer has ever faced.

But at week's end, grain prices crept back up again. Plainly, speculation was not the only devil...
...winery, founded in 1883 by a German immigrant, Carl Wente, is small by California standards. It has only 500 acres of vineyards run by Carl's sons, Ernest, 58, and Herman, 54, who started learning viticulture almost as soon as they could walk. Their wines (trade names: Wente Bros., Valle de Oro) are not widely known because the brothers sell chiefly to the carriage trade, do little advertising. Their prices are comparatively high because their fine-wine vines yield only 1½ tons of grapes to the acre, v. twelve tons for inferior varieties. For the same reason, their...
