Beetling behind a big red fan of beard, Denmark's huge Social Democratic Premier Thorvald A. M. Stauning has sailed his little country handsomely, since the spring of 1929, through fair weather & foul. Most ticklish stretch came after Britain, to whom Danish farmers sell most of their eggs and butter, cheapened the pound (TIME, Sept. 28, 1931). Premier Stauning sensibly cheapened Denmark's krone proportionately in step with the pound.

From the ridge of the glass enclosure shielded lights glowed on the waxy features of the man who proclaimed the World Revolution of the World Proletariat. Other light there was none. Through that gloom, by last week, more than 8,000,000 persons...
...nearly killed him. A nervous wreck, he went back to Santa Monica on crutches where he cured himself with the climate and a sober study of Buddhism. For many years director of the Santa Monica Community Theatre and the Los Angeles Art Students' League, he gradually gave up beard, long hair and artistic mannerisms, adopted a hard, exact manner of drawing that showed a strong Oriental influence...
