His comments on the figures in the limelight today, -- President Roosevelt (and his comments on the change in his own impressions of the man during an interval of twelve months are enlightening), Huey Long, Father Coughlin, the Brain Trust, -- and on the regimentation of industry and agricultural, make one keenly aware of the needs he so aptly brings to the fore, It is a challenge -- and, in spite of certain inevitable gaps of rounded knowledge, searching and just in its criticism. At this particular moment it seems especially timely.
