The “bought vote,” according to Kent is made up of the 3,500,000 on the Federal payroll and their four friends apiece. These replace the 3,000,000 on WPA who, with their | friends, gave Roosevelt 12,000,000 sure votes in 1936 and 1940.

Scientific societies, and scientists of many individual companies, have shown a commend- able spirit of mutual help in research. The newest example of such cooperation has been among nine societies concerned with the physical and natural world: The American Geographical Society, the Am- erican Museum of Natural History, the Arnold Ar- boretum, the Blue Hill Observatory, Carnegie Museum, Chicago Natural History Museum, the Museum of { Comparative Zoology, the New York Zoological So- ciety and the Smithsonian Institution. This team- work has resulted in a book, “The Pacific World,” the earnings of which are to go to the American Committee for International Wildlife Protection. Edited by Fairfield Osborn, the new book is pub- lished at a time when, as never before, interest is centered on the great region that stretches from our own Western shores to the Orient, from the cold s of the Aleutians to the South Polar Seas. Un- | usual in concept, and especially so in treatment, the huok presents a fascinating picture of the climatic, | physical and ethnolog! life of the countless islands which dot this vast expanse. Their peoples, their strange animal and bird life, and the extraordinary multitudinous life of the ocean which laps them, are | reviewed through text and striking cartographic and illustrate treatment in a way which seems certain to lead to a better understanding of an area which thou- sands of our fighting men are seeing at first-hand | | and to which thoughts of most Americans are turned “The Pacific World" | should help our knowledge of a region thal must| play an important role in the future of the United ates. lican Council, an organization made In this case,/up of anti- New Deal Democrats, scoured the|anti-New Deal Negroes, and others eral cities, final- |supporting Alf Landon but bitterly | intage equal to|opposed to Herbert Hoover.
