...attack the President on every occasion? All the support that he has received from them so far has been given him merely because of their hope that they themselves might gain control of the regulatory machinery which was being erected--such as the NRA--and thus set up a rigid oligarchy in which the government would be subordinated to business men. Failing to do this, they must block Mr. Roosevelt; and the present attack on him, for which the cancelling of the air-mail contracts has provided the excuse, is only one phase in the struggle.

The committee cleared Chicago's Health Commissioner Herman Niels Bundesen of laxness or negligence in handling and publicizing the epidemic.

In requiring these men to fulfill the science requirement, the College is helping to defeat the proper ends of the distribution system. Students already thoroughly familiar with the scientific method are frequently prevented by the requirement from including in their program a course in an equally valuable subject such as Fine Arts, Economics, or Psychology, not embraced in the concentration...
