...student of international relations can afford to miss this volume of speeches, this document illumination a dark subject and a sore subject in contemporary history, this testimonial to the good faith of the most important power in eastern waters. Not even the most ardent anti Japanese trouble maker in this country can help but be convinced by ambassador Saito's disarming array of facts that Japan's only and chief desire is to attain and maintain the friendship and good will of the world towards...
...Athens Army Corps. He knew that even tougher War Minister General George Kondylis would soon be after him. In the last election fierce, waxed-mustached General Kondylis had 34 of his henchmen elected Deputies on the straight Republican ticket, then abruptly informed them that henceforth they were to be ardent Royalists hot to restore Georgios II. Moving fast last week Republican General Panayotakos surrounded Athens with troops he thought he could trust, burst into a Cabinet meeting.

...MacBride could not stomach the fundamental fact of organic evolution. Probably no sane biologist, and certainly none of Dr. MacBride's calibre, remains unconvinced that all complex forms of life have arisen from simpler organisms.

Athlete Kelly promptly kicked out the machine Democrats who, by grace of Boss Vare, had for years played piccolo in Philadelphia's political orchestra. Today City Boss Kelly can and has told State Boss Guffey what he would and would not permit. This week he is running for Mayor...
...Commissioner Reimer, Edward Laning, 29, knew little of railroad history, a lot about the theory and practice of mural painting. Leaving Amherst because the sound of John Coolidge's saxophone was more than he could stand, he went to Manhattan, entered the Art Students' League. There he became an ardent pupil and disciple of Kenneth Hayes Miller, and a faithful follower of the painter who inspired Instructor Miller, Peter Paul Rubens. In Europe Laning had made a Rubens tour through Paris, Holland, Belgium, Spain, the result of which is obvious in all his work. Critics consider...
