...Chinese Premier, Dr. H. H. Kung, was found last week to have quietly left Hankow, where his Government continued to organize resistance to the Japanese, and arrived in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. There he was greeted by Mme Kung, her brother, No. 1 Chinese Financier T. V. Soong, and her famed sisters, Chinese Air Force Chief Mme Chiang Kai-shek and Mme Sun Yatsen, widow of the sainted "Father of the Chinese Republic...
...Balkans a monarch must often act with vigor if he expects to stay King, and at Bucharest last week Carol von Hohenzollern suddenly made himself as much a Dictator as was his brother-in-law, the late King Alexander of Yugoslavia, assassinated at Marseille (TIME.

P. for Oxford University, now provost of Eton. Living in a stratosphere of piety, Lord Hugh regards the Established Church as above and apart from England's Protestant sects. "Scandalous"' it was, to him, when some years ago the Bishop of Liverpool announced that he would let Unitarians be guest preachers in his cathedral. Last week in London, in a speech before the Assembly of the Church of England, Churchman Cecil...
Last week 4,500 Manhattanites paid $12,000 to cram the Metropolitan Opera House while Yehudi Menuhin and his pretty 17-year-old sister Hepzibah played Beethoven's C Minor Sonata for violin and piano. Touching as a brother-sister act, the performance, on its piano side, was far from record-breaking...
