...week both occurred. The $7,500 jewels stolen from Princess Maria of Bourbon-Sicily, bride of Prince Juan of Spain, held press attention until the Rt. Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King actually stood on the White House doormat, ate from the White House dishes, slept in a White House bed. "I thought it would be a pleasant thing," said Mr. King, "to pay a courtesy call upon your President." That was a magnificent understatement. What the new-Canadian Premier assuredly thought would be a "pleasant thing" was to do something that looked virtually impossible, to fulfill a prime promise that...

In the foreground Old de Bono could see distinctly part of a grimy Italian labor battalion slaving to make roads, a spate of lumbering trucks and tanks, many a picturesque sight full of local Ethiopian color...
...days after three bullets put the Premier of China to bed (see above), Acting Premier & Finance Minister Dr. H. H. Kung abruptly "Nationalized" the age-old basis of Chinese money, silver. Chinese could still hoard all the gold they pleased, but Dr. Kung made it treason for Chinese to hold silver which he ordered into the Government's banks. To a nation that has never had any great confidence in paper, the Chinese Government decreed that its paper is legal tender and not redeemable in either silver or gold...
