Global Army. George Marshall, democrat, would be the first to agree that the U.S. Army is not his army. He would be first to say that the U.S. Army, 1942, belongs to the "more than five million" men and officers now in khaki, to the two or three million more who will certainly be in uniform before World War II is much older; to the "more than 700,000" who are the vanguard of huge A.E.F.s...
Republican Perils. The Senate is safely Democratic: of the 32 seats up this year, twelve are held by Southern Democrats, who are in effect elected right now. And even if the Republicans swept the remaining 20 seats-which is not even faintly possible, the Democrats would still control the Senate 54-41.

Bennett for Governor of New York-though the President had fought Bennett bitterly in the primary convention. The only question was how? That called for the delicacy of a three-cushioned billiard shot...
...Against Bloc. But in the Senate there was a man with the courage of conviction, a man from a heavily agricultural State, and worse, a man running for reelection this year, Prentiss Marsh Brown of Michigan, 53, a Democrat. Senator Brown set himself in the path of the farm-bloc juggernaut. The 250-odd farm lobbyists had the votes-but Senator Brown had logic and virtue on his side...
