This is the considered conclusion of Dr. H. Hediger in a book, published in London, called Wild Animals in Captivity (Butterworth; 35 shillings). Dr. Hediger is director of the Zoological Gardens at Basle, Switzerland, but he is no mere animal-keeper.

Jessup and Butterworth called on Siam's Premier Phibun Song-gram (see cut), and had some refreshments, but they seemed to have made no firm impression that the U.S. had advanced beyond the scouting-and-thinking stage in Southeast Asia. No one seemed to talk of action. While U.S. diplomats dallied, the Bangkok government pointedly let it be known that it would not yet follow the U.S.-British lead in recognizing the French-sponsored...
