While Dr. Albert Einstein declared from the S. S. Belgenland last week that a better balance between producer and consumer was the world's most pressing problem in 1930 (see below), the man whom he was coming to visit, Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan, chairman of California Institute of Technology, said the same thing in a speech to the 24th annual meeting of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, meeting in Manhattan. Cause of Unemployment, he recited, is overproduction, inevitable result of the War. Although Science, the builder of machinery, has often been held responsible for taking...
Fortnight ago the two started for U. S. from their small apartment home in Haberlandstrasse, Berlin. Frau Einstein had a busy time preparing for their long journey. So soon as Dr. Einstein announced last month that he would make his second trip to the U. S. to visit his scientific friends Dr. Albert Abraham Michelson, University of Chicago physicist, and Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan, chairman of California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif. (TIME, Nov. 24), scores of U. S. private citizens, public officials, clubs, and universities sent invitations for teas, dinners, receptions. Frau Einstein, who is her husband...
...Stanley Park, principal plaza of Vancouver, B. C., stands a stone monument called the Harding Memorial, erected by the Canadian Kiwanis Club. It honors Warren Gamaliel Harding, only President of the U. S. to visit Canada while in office, whose reception at Vancouver shortly preceded his death in San Francisco.

Menachem Ussishkin, mighty namesake of an evil King of Israel, reached the U. S. last week from Palestine. The purpose of his visit is to bolster the rage of U. S. Jews against Great Britain's recent opposition to further Jewish colonization of Palestine (TIME, Nov. 3 et seq.), and to raise money for the Jewish National Fund of which he is world president. He is a short, powerfully built, deter mined man aged 63, a Russian-born engineer. He has lived in Palestine the past ten years. Nine years ago he visited the U. S. Fellow Zionists call...
When Inventor Edison saw and applauded the Pitcairn-Cierva autogiro at Newark last September many guessed, because it was only his second visit to any airport, that he had little knowledge of aeronautics. But Thomas Edison, like Leonardo da Vinci, attacked the problem of aerodynamics early in his inventive career. About 1880 he devised an airplane engine powered by nitroglycerin. A roll of ordinary ticker-tape, turned into guncotton, was fed between two copper rolls into the cylinder and exploded electrically. But when the engine itself exploded and injured an assistant, Edison abandoned the project. In 1910 he secured...
