...Just how much Admiral Horthy was impressed by Herr Hitler's show can only be shown by events. But last week, while he was in Germany, one of his diplomats, Baron Bessenyei-Bakach, was quietly tending another iron which the hard-headed Admiral has in another fire. In Bled, Yugoslavia, the Baron was attending a meeting of the Little Entente (Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rumania), satellites of France.

Had he been at Kansas City last week, Franklin Roosevelt's hand would not have bled but his ears might have burned, for 3,000 members of the Law's outstanding professional association met there in a very different state of mind. If anything were needed to put a fine edge on the legal profession's fury at Franklin Delano Roosevelt it was the Constitution Day address three weeks ago in which...
