...many a Balkan crisis. The country had supposed that Foreign Minister Nintchitch* was in close touch with Premier Mussolini, and also that the new Jugoslav-born President Zogu of Albania was under his thumb. Like a thunderclap had come the news that Albania and Italy had concluded a mutual accord (TIME, Dec. 13). A rumor spread that this treaty contained secret military clauses which would make Albania an Italian pistol pointed at Jugoslavia. Suspicion, fear, hate seethed. Evidently Foreign Minister Nintchitch was a fool. He had pursued a conciliatory policy toward Italy, he signed an accord with Rome last year...
...hero, no heroine, no plot complication. The drama is of the crew, the human beings who scrub, polish, mother the steel monster and are fed, in return, with wormy meat. They protest.

Opinions for the most part were in perfect accord. The production itself was lavish beyond compare, Maria Jeritza was wonderfully effective as Turandot, so glinty cold as to send the shivers down 4,000 spines as she shrilled her desire to avenge all men. Giacomo Lauri-Volpi was a loud, adequately heroic Calaf. But there were none of those sweet...
...could not afford to be promoted to the post of Counselor of the Legation at Peking. His salary- was to be $8,000 a year. Neither is Mr. Dulles extravagant. He can easily live on his salary, but with his rise in rank and diplomatic importance he must entertain accord- ingly and put on the swank that is expected of a legate of the U. S. Said he in a letter to Secretary of State Kellogg: "The financial burden involved in the acceptance of the higher positions in the diplomatic service is such that outside resources are increasingly necessary.
