Though he is making no overt campaign for the Presidency, Senator Arthur Vandenberg in recent weeks has managed to keep himself in the Congressional spotlight with his subtle attacks on the New Deal. Fortnight ago this Michigan Republican finally succeeded in beating efforts to appropriate money for the Florida ship canal (TIME, March 30). Last week he popped up with a modest resolution asking AAA to report the names of all farmers who received more than $10,000 a year in benefit payments...

Repression was never yet a remedy for anything...
...mores of a people is such that it enjoys and makes possible the production of what by some is considered "indecent" expression, then no censorship will ever get at the root of the problem. These reformers, like most, are concerned with the overt expression and not with the underlying and subtle causes of the manifestation. It is not the products of men that should be attacked. Rather, some inquiry should be made into the reasons for the production and the desire on the part of people to foster them. A person who has indecent thoughts will not be made into...
