Following Secretary Hull's dignified official belittlement of that measure last fortnight, Mr. Stimson wrote a letter to the New York Times. In a masterly 4,000-word document, Statesman Stimson tore the Resolution to pieces as a device that would not only dangerously divide U. S. sentiment if there were a war but also would defeat its own purposes by so hobbling U. S. diplomacy that situations like the Panay bombing would be far more likely to lead to war than they are at present, Mr. Stimson's conclusion: "No more effective engine for the disruption...
Last week Professor Arnold's name was on the tongue of many an inquisitive businessman as well as of many a parlor economist, for he had written a book. Put out quietly last month by Yale University Press, The Folklore of Capitalism achieved so much word-of-mouth advertising that last week its first printing was being rapidly exhausted in book stores from coast to coast...
...Generalissimo was overwhelmed and overruled by Chinese public opinion. He was obliged to lead China to certain defeat.

By dawn the 350 students had decided to strike. When Dean Sherwood...
Notable, too, was Norman Soong's cool eyewitness account of the Panay bombing and sinking, and of the passengers' flight inland. At deferred press rate of 13? a word, that 5,220-word story was a bargain, would have been worth the 73?-a-word urgent cable rate used on the hottest news "breaks." Messrs. Mayell's and Alley's films of the power-diving Japanese planes will be something to see in the U. S. next week if local police departments do not censor them as too inflammatory...
