That was a new record for John Businessman. Goodyear Tire & Rubber's Paul Weeks Litchlield declared he had "regretfully arrived at the conclusion that a measure of Government control must be introduced. . . . We have failed to take the necessary steps voluntarily so the element of force. Government compulsion, becomes necessary. . . . Our continued decline in employment and purchasing power is leading us into state socialism or complete anarchy." General Electric's Gerard Swope (who. over a year ago. urged industry to do what it may now be forced to do) said: "I repeat that if industry does...

The United States' agricultural communities have been submerged for a period of more than five years, and the various sugar-coated programs that have been presented have failed dismally to restore prosperity...
...Tracy, as the newspaperman arrant, is in his element, perhaps a bit too much so. Apparently, he has talked as loudly in the studio as in the picture, with the result that some of the minor roles, notably that of Kate, are neglected. Exceedingly competent acting on the part of James Gleason, who plays Lefty, Thomas' assistant, and on the part of Una Merkel, who portrays the fickle femininity of the story, is enough to save the rather weak plot and the overemphasis on Mr. Tracy.
