Helpful Joseph. The only bright spot in Anthony Eden's bitter week was the presence of a new French delegate. Hulking, outspoken Foreign Minister Flandin had to stay in France to do a little belated campaigning for the coming parliamentary elections. To take his place, he sent a predecessor in France's Foreign Office, silver-thatched, quick-witted Joseph Paul-Boncour.

In seven years of flying-boat service from Florida to South America, Pan American, up to last week, had seriously injured no passenger. Safe as a church seemed the 19-ton Clippers which have flown the run for two years. Yachts with wings, they had plenty of water to land on in case of trouble.
