...necessity of some sort of reduction was recognized even by Hoover's Farm Board in the waning days of McNary-Haugenism. So far, the AAA has operated to the direct advantage only of the nation's farmers. Much has been said of the indirect advantages to the nation as whole; recovery was to arrive on the wings of higher farm buying power. Whatever the validity of this argument, high food costs have consistcutly held down the living standard of our lowest income classes. Surplus distribution through State relief agencies handled negligible quanties of goods from local markets temporarily glutted...
...Factors. Any quantitative estimate must be corrected not so much for qualitative factors-although these are important-as in the light of how rapidly each great power is increasing its yearly or monthly production of reasonably effective fighting aircraft. In acceleration of aircraft production Germany has pioneered, led the whole European field and may still be leading, despite frantic efforts to accelerate production by the other great powers, notably Britain.

...dancers of the Paris Opera. The one painting of a "Ballet Dancer" on display illustrates his characteristic treatment of this subject. The figure, which is light and graceful, wears a light blue dress with spots here and there of sheer color. It is ironic indeed that he envelopes the whole in a romantic, pure atmosphere, for the truth was the dancers as a whole lived a very immoral life and were often almost vicious in their vices. Another typical Degas painting is the race track scene "They're Off." Here everything is dark and stormy looking except for a spotlight...
