If they seek to delay control, the British Navy will be given orders to act swiftly and effectively." Soon the British Empire proceeded to unleash the British Navy again-as it was unleashed last year against Benito Mussolini - this time perhaps to blockade Spain entirely by sea as suggested by the Sunday Referee. Since the House of Commons is about to reconvene this was a good line for His Majesty's Government to take, in preparation for expected criticism from Labor...
...addicts are entitled to further delay -I urge immediate executions!" shouted Feng, banging his peasant fist. "I myself have a cousin who, after 40 years of opium smoking, cured himself of this habit at the age of 62. Others can do likewise if they are determined!"

Instead he has allowed himself, perhaps unjustly, to be branded as a politician glad to see one of his enemies "embarrassed," even if in the process his state university is subjected to the indignity...
...mutually acceptable basis for conference. The company is demanding that the "sit down" strikers evacuate its plants before it negotiates with the Union The Union demands guarantees that the plants will not be operated or that the machinery be moved elsewhere. The company is probably glad to see a delay in striking negotiations because it believes that the real-strikers among its employees are relatively few and that prolonging the shutdown will make the strike and the Union unpopular with most of the employees. The Union leaders would probably welcome an opportunity to start negotiations at once because that would...
