...night" since the Conference opened to line up the World's Big Five wheat exporting countries (U. S.. Canada, Russia, Argentina, Australia) in a pact to enforce 15% cuts in their next year's wheat crops and restrict exports. Since rich & pious Canadian Premier Richard Bedford Bennett came to the Conference proposing such a plan he joined forces eagerly with Mr. Morgenthau. Because a wheat pact may lead to diplomatic recognition and because Russia is having a hard time just now to grow a wheat surplus anyway. Uncle Henry found Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinov willing...
Playing Safe. At the end of the week in which Jimmie Mattern airily promised to circle the earth from and to Floyd Bennett Field, N. Y. (TIME, June 12) he was in Khabarovsk. Far Eastern Siberia, so utterly exhausted by a grueling flight across sea and land that he could not even answer newsmen. With all chance gone of beating the 8½-day globe record of Post & Gatty he now was trying to make the best possible solo record, yet heeding the cabled exhortations of his backers to "take it easy and play it safe."

...Bennett's keenest appetites was for yachting. In his own (much overpublicized) yacht, the Velsa, a 55-ft. Dutch cutter with an auxiliary engine, a piano and an encyclopedia, with timbers that recalled the Constitution and "a cockpit in which Hardy might have kissed Nelson,'' he voyaged amiably on the Zuyder Zee, the Baltic and numerous friendly canals and English estuaries.
