...vote in their next national election for members of the House of Commons. Five years ago, in November 1928, bumbling conservative Stanley Baldwin seemed fairly secure as Prime Minister, but the Labor Party scored a net gain of 188 municipal council seats and six months later Laborite James Ramsay MacDonald won Labor's greatest victory in the general election of May 1929 and sent Mr. Bald win packing. Again three years ago the tide was seen to turn when Labor suffered a net loss of 80 municipal seats in November 1930. Scot MacDonald turned his political coat with...
...Pundit Steed, observing that "Ramsay MacDonald . . . may be unaware how subtly and swiftly public trust in him has ebbed during the past twelvemonth" and that "Stanley Baldwin's . . . passion for self-effacement and appearance of political indolence estrange and dishearten the younger conservatives," concluded: "At no time in the past 40 years have the British people been so leaderless as they are today...

Few weeks ago Winooka's American manager, Rufe Naylor, boldly challenged Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney to a match with the latter...
...feudalism and the economy of the village. Obviously the ruling interests, in whatever country, cannot permit the reaction to go so far as this, and their only alternative will be a series of imperialist wars with the object of national enslavement. At present Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Hitler, Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Mussolini, and, I dare say, M. Daladier's successor are each aiming for the vast golden apple of imperialism, expansion of exports and restriction of imports. Each of them has stated this explicitly. None of them has suggested how it can be simultaneously achieved by everybody. But it does...
