Monday Morning, June 25, 1934 argues that critics of the New Deal claim liberties are being stripped away, but the piece lists prominent financiers and corporations such as Samuel Insull, J. P. Morgan, Otto H. Kahn, Arthur Cutten, Wiggin, Lamont, and others as examples of abuses benefiting from the old system. It contends the people will keep these liberties to prevent racketeering and tax avoidance.
In normal times the public ignores diplomatic card shuffling but recent moves affecting Russian trade show an old deal trick. The US recognized Russia and set up the Export Import Bank to aid trade, yet results remain elusive. Congress passed the Johnson bill distinguishing Russian debt, exempting government corporations from the no credit to debtors rule, while Russia shows willingness to buy American products like farm implements.
The piece contrasts export policy affecting Russia with the Kerensky debt and U S trade losses to allied nations. It extols Mackinac Island’s untouched beauty, its lack of traffic controls, and its preservation as a tranquil, horse-and-carriage era landmark amid the Straits and surrounding islands.
A report cites TVA power prices lowering bills for Tupelo residents from 6.81 cents to 4.72 to 13.71 cents per kilowatt hour, with total charges dropping from 122.87 dollars to 51 dollars for January and March usage.

General Johnson now has James Cope, ex Associated Press reporter, tasked to muzzle him when he vents. Cope, the Johnson suppressor, will face a volatile ex cavalry officer prone to loud rhetoric about Russia and steel labor. The piece notes past White House dogs and the kennel history as context.
A reader defends Kanawha county farm children against claims of undernourishment saying workers have assisted in dining room duties for two years and that meals are three substantial and well cooked.

The diary covers cinema talk, cabarets, and witty social sketches with names like George Hart Bob Hague Loretta Young and Frank Jay Gould appearing in rapid observational vignettes. The writer mentions reading Montaigne and Stevenson and notes items from Held Jr and Dudley about social gossip and a zoo of street life. The piece ends with a doodled aside about a python dying on an exhibition tour and a stray line about roof gardens.
A mangled survey of remarks on Huey Long, Borah, and other figures cites satire about Washington leaders. The piece mocks reporters, lawmakers, and political humor, noting riots among newsboys and a teaser about Indiana and Tadlana figures.
