Already French law compels millers to use 100% French wheat in making flour, and the farmer is further protected by French tariffs and quotas raised against the world's great wheat growing states (see p. 17). With bread prices bound to rise, French papers bristled last week with indignant plaints headed THE DEAR LIFE (La Vie Chére). On the Riviera rich Bruce Bundy of Los Angeles announced a plan to form an island colony "as a refuge from high French prices and the depreciated dollar." Socialite colonists would purchase all their necessary luxuries on a co-operative...
...sally at the expense of the bourgeois world brings him salvos of applause from Moscow. Not one peep came from M. Litvinov last week. Observers believed he would work hard and say little for many days to come. Theoretically a world economic conference should mean nothing to a Communist, bound to the principle of economic nationalism more firmly than any high tariff Tory. But until the aims of Russia's Five-Year Plan become realities Russia must trade with the outside world. The Anglo-Russian embargoes, results of the British engineers' propaganda trial two months ago, have been...
Zani, a plausible and unambitious Tarzan, has been brought up since childhood in the zoo as a ward of its director. His personality is very soothing to the animals, and also to an orphan girl about to be bound out for five years. Both, through appropriately creditable motives, become embroiled with the Budapest gendarmarie, and hide away in an abandoned bear den. They are joined by a monkey, a little boy lost, and in the nick of time the villain. The role of the latter is promptly and gratifyingly usurped by a midnight sortie of lions and tigers from their...
...lack of it- is a very difficult thing to prove, even for a Senate committee aided by a Pecora. Unlike the industrial monopolies of 1907, financial power in 1933 is not a thing to be established by yes & no testimony. The social implications of such prestige as is bound up in a House of Morgan cannot readily be reduced to a dollars & cents basis for the ordinary citizen to see and understand its effect on him. So far in the Morgan investigation the individual could find whatever he was looking for to prove this or that economic preconception...
...destroyer sinking a German submarine laden with $3,000,000 in gold in the South Seas during the War. Captain Schlemmer (Fredrik Vogeding) escapes with one shipmate, kills him on a desert island. Years later he ships with a lady oceanographer (Fay Wray) on her yacht bound for the site of the sunken treasure. Also along is a diver (Ralph Bellamy), who is at first more interested in his craft than in Miss Wray. The iniquitous Teuton, best actor in the cast, soon shows his stripe by trying to get all the gold for himself. He is dragged beneath...
