Sirs: You quote Earl Baldwin of Bewdley as saying in two long paragraphs and 175 words (TIME, Aug. 28-Education) what Maxwell Anderson made Washington say better in the play about Valley Forge in 15 words: "This liberty will look easy by and by-when nobody dies to get it."

Postern. If forced back into her Triangle, Poland can expect direct aid only through her southeast postern, the valley of the Dniester down to Rumania and the Black Sea.

The 7,000 delegates came from Argentina, Tanganyika, India and all North America by a variety of conveyance from trailer to airplane, at meal times ate their fill for 20? of tasty Pennsylvania Dutch cooking...
...Washington. Said he: ". . . This would seem to be a good time for the utilities and TVA both to devote all of their energies to the considerable work we each have to do. The TVA now will be able to concentrate upon its main purpose: the development of the Tennessee Valley." Public utilitarians devoutly hoped these words could be taken as a promise of no more Government competition...
