Washington experts describe the Mead bill to insure 80 to 90 percent of loans for small industries, modeled on the Federal Housing Act. Support comes from banking groups, while critics warn of vast government exposure and dependence on local rates.

Opponents fear old patterns of government tinkering and runaway liabilities.
In 1920 Republican Convention talks pushed California Senator Hiram Johnson to accept second place on the ticket.

George Tucker describes a secret morning Latin jam spot near Fifth Avenue and 116th Street in Manhattan. The basement cafe operates without permits, serves cheap drinks, and is frequented by Latin musicians who gather after work.

The article describes flexible jam sessions where up to 15 stars join impromptu rhumba swing and waltz performances. It notes Manhattan as a leader in electric lighting and mentions entertainers’ pay, with Acquacade dancers earning 335 weekly and showgirls 35 weekly. It also references Billy Rose and a Manhattan terrace porch overlooking Queens toward the Fair.
A verbose political column funded by local patriotic citizens denounces federal tax policy, warns of national bankruptcy, and argues for limited government and states rights. It cites Jefferson and Washington era ideals while criticizing contemporary Democratic policies and bureaucratic expansion. The piece urges readers to reflect and support the views if they agree with the sentiments.
The president addresses the National Retailers Forum focusing on consumer purchasing power and government spending. He defends current policies, criticizes economists, and argues that public investment sustains jobs and stabilizes prices, while acknowledging past deficits and ongoing plans.
