The House approved an extra 15 090 000 for the agriculture census in fiscal 1935 to hire about 27 600 workers to gather information largely already known. Rep Dean Taylor voted no and is praised by the writer for opposing the measure, arguing it wastes farmers time and tax dollars.
The piece argues General Douglas MacArthur may be assigned to lead the invasion of Japan or be given a new mission after a possible leave. It asserts his proven leadership, dramatic presence, and the improbability of shelving him, while noting rumors of alternate commands and praising his impact on Allied morale.
The new Belgian coalition includes conservatives liberals socialists and communists with Achille Van Acker as premier. Observers note a dynamic leadership and hope for stability as Belgium seeks postwar recovery under increased British influence while questions remain about long term durability of such unlikely partnerships.
After conflicts ended, extremist currents toppled the German republic and brought Hitler to power. The danger now is postwar libel governments toppling, paving the way for Communist or reactionary dictatorships as ideological lines sharpen in European nations. The conflict sits dormant but may erupt again soon.
A wartime column warns of deceptive peace gestures from Germany as the Allies press for total defeat. It notes rumors of Nazi leadership shifts, Goebbels departure, and the need to resist any peace feelers while continuing military and production effort. The piece also mocks sensational propaganda and recounts unrelated hints about shortages and other war-time curios.
Governor Baldwin and the Connecticut Legislature chose Admiral Thomas C. Hart to fill the late Senator Maloney’s seat, stressing a nonpartisan, outstanding American with a record of service. Hart’s wartime leadership and refusal to be deterred are highlighted as fitting for the times amid Senate debates over conscription and civil wartime labor.
In a letter to The Record, readers discuss labor union dues, collection methods, and democratic rules. William J. Adamson signs a note from Troy dated February 25, defending the union and urging adherence to its laws while criticizing critics like Bailey.
The piece argues that air power alone cannot win wars and that ground troops with infantry and artillery remain essential. It credits sea power and naval aviation for progress, notes past overstatements, and urges balanced, realistic military planning amid evolving strategies.
A Catholic priest denounces Tom Pendergast's Kansas City rule as a corrupt machine. The piece argues his public life tainted by his religious life, cites gang violence and vote manipulation, and calls for fair elections despite the priest’s veiled admonitions.
The piece recounts how Jesse Jones became chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, edging out Atlee Pomerene due to Roosevelt’s needs and Hoover era ties. It notes Pomerene’s later criticism, Jones’s influence with the Texas delegation, and the political reward system behind RFC leadership.
