...every job which a world conference could possibly attempt. Speaking for France broad-shouldered, big-voiced Premier Edouard Daladier called sharply for dollar and pound stabilization beside the stable gold franc. Most polished, most eloquent and most fervent was U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull's appeal for World co-operation and lower tariffs, but it did nothing to clear up the Conference fog as to what the U. S. Delegation is empowered specifically to propose. During the whole week only three delegates made really sharp, clean cut proposals...
...jury ended in a deadlock. Neither side was able to produce absolute evidence to prove that either Mme Halm's or the Louvre's Belle was from the brush of Leonardo. Sir Joseph was technically exonerated, but the trial did his reputation no good. An appeal was started, suddenly dropped. Two rumors persisted: 1) that Sir Joseph Duveen had bought Mme Hahn off; 2) that the suggestions of Sir Joseph's business methods when faced by an important art sale from which he was unable to profit, kept Sir Joseph for three years from the British peerage...
...sentence for bank fraud awaits him. With his crony, Banker-Promoter Rogers Clark Caldwell, Col. Lea was strong in State politics.

The emotional appeal of his bitter reference to the generation which had taught his own to "worship the golden calf" was well calculated to stir interest in his constructive program. But although he went further than Governor Cross, Mr. Sullivan, too, preferred not to look behind the cars of today's order...
That Germans have no der Drang zu rüsten (will-to-arms), preferring disarmament by everyone, was the theme of Adolf Hitler's rousing peace speech touched off by President Roosevelt's disarmament appeal (TIME, May 29). In Berlin last week Nazi ideals jogged back to their pugnacious norm. Beefy Captain Nermann Wilhelm Göring, most potent Hitler henchman and Premier of Prussia, stomped up the rostrum of his Diet to tell Prussian Deputies his plans for their Ministry of Education...
