Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

The article presents information on several socio-political developments from around the world. Radio never weathered such endurance tests as during the Democratic Convention, but the broadcasting of those dreary sessions probably established it firmly as a household necessity--and pest. It will have subtler tests in the course of the three-party campaign. Every politician will expect the nearest radio station to give him a full opportunity to stand in front of a receiving instrument and roar his speeches to audiences which would never cross the street to listen to him. If the churches in their intention to oppose the slaughter of human beings in war they are only at the beginning of a long struggle. This struggle will be all the more difficult because of their past support of war, for the sudden stubbornness of a pliable person arouses infinitely more anger than habitual stubbornness.
