...Finn gets emotional only after much brooding, and usually without much logic. Today he forgets that under Tsars Alexander I, II and III his people were the best-treated minority in the world. Instead, he remembers the blundering misrule of Nicholas II. Even the fact that in 1918 many Red Finns fought hand-in-hand with their Russian comrades against Finnish and Russian Whites cannot change his traditional hatred and contempt for the Slav...
...William Henry Chamberlin, Christian Science Monitor Paris correspondent, have given the Vagabond pause. With other students, he has tried to believe that this war is a moral crusade, to be followed by the construction of a better Europe--if the Allies win. He has tried, in spite of his logic, his common sense, and his knowledge of history. But the facts, and especially this early dispatch from Paris, have proved disillusioning...
Obstacle. In Manhattan last week David Dubinsky looked back over the history of the C. I. O.-A. F. of L. dispute, found little logic in the present C. I. O. position.

...this time Capra has gone a step further: he has portrayed what James Truslow Adams calls the "American dream."

When an American sees the statue in the Lincoln Memorial, he does not see merely the image of a great President. A thousand and one connotations are called up by that sight--the struggle for the Union, the defeat of slavery, in fact, the whole "American dream." Knowing this fact, Capra...
...where King Leopold conferred long & often with his ministers and generals after returning from his sudden visit to Queen Wilhelmina, nervousness and foreboding continued through the weekend. Despite repeated German denials, all intelligence reports agreed that Adolf Hitler was planning to move somewhere, soon and suddenly, in the West. Logic for his striking through The Netherlands was compelling. With the Belgian border fortified against him almost as strongly as the French, the Dutch dike was his weakest target. His objective would not necessarily be the turning of the Allied flank but acquisition of bases for planes and submarines much closer...
