Well aware are U. S. Communists that they may shout themselves hoarse in Manhattan's Union Square without getting a word of encouragement through the Nazi Press censorship to their comrades underground in Germany. To create an international incident which the German Press could scarcely overlook and thus to assure German Communists that U. S. Communists were still with them, a party of Manhattan Marxists last year raided the German Liner Bremen at the price of a half-dozen cracked pates, tore the Swastika off its forepeak, tossed it into the Hudson River (TIME.

First news service really to cope with the Revolution was Universal which soared over censorship with an airplane ferrying regularly from Madrid to Paris the dispatches of tough old Correspondent Karl H. von Wiegand, who appears to enjoy risking his life on everything from the Graf Zeppelin to Ethiopia (TIME, Jan. 27).

...last week the Japanese had found out that their query came too late. New King Edward stands not for more British censorship but for less. In His Majesty's official Court Circular the name of Mrs. Simpson made its appearance and was not snipped out of London papers (TIME, June 8). Next the British news weekly Cavalcade came out with Mrs. Simpson in five columns. This issue sold like hot cakes on the respected stands of W. H. Smith & Sons, the circulation of Cavalcade boomed and last week its editors were said to feel that their new magazine...
