Subsidies in the Wheat Market and Economic Fallout
Babson argues for a measured view of subsidies amid debate on farming and labor. He compares subsidies to a dam that moderates demand but risks price pyramiding, debt, and long-term habit formation. He cautions against broad use, notes political and war-time implications, and suggests limited subsidies on universally used products as a possible compromise.

Draft board keeps calling fathers for induction under new rules
Officials contend the pre Pearl Harbor fathers face confusion from Congress and the Roosevelt signing of a law. The local board maintains its prior policy favoring single men and certain married men with later-born children, with a change abolishing non-deferable occupations putting some fathers back in induction order. A commission may study lower physical standards, but delays reduce benefits for these fathers.
