Agonizing, clear to the U. S. people was the dilemma. Relief to occupied Europe, even under the strict U. S. supervision which Herbert Hoover planned, would help to preserve Europe under Hitler and in effect subsidize his conquests. If Great Britain falls, the problem will only be compounded. Then Mr. Cudahy will not have to "present the reality of dealing with force as the only power." The reality will be pictures of bloated babies, of hungry women, and of Adolf Hitler, expecting to fatten one way or another on the largess of the U. S. people...
Last week 675 bibulous but well-behaved delegates of the National Association of Broadcasters gathered in San Francisco. Less timorous than usual, the N.A.B.-ers spoke freely and frankly, singled out ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) as the industry's No. 1 problem.

Across the flat, silky wheatlands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the great combines purred last week, cutting and threshing wheat. Every grain the machines gathered was a problem. Canada's wheat economy is built on an average annual production of 350,000,000 bushels, of which the greatest part was formerly shipped to Britain. Of that Britain marketed a large amount. Blitzkrieg and the fear of helping the enemy has knocked that market out. Last year Canada...
