...More important were the Mehrer's "treaties." One with Lithuania made that country increasingly a Nazi economic domain. And an unprecedented economic agreement with Rumania, signed under a virtual threat of invasion, gave the Reich almost all the oil, wheat and agricultural produce of King Carol's large and fertile domains. Just to make things official, Aggrandizer Hitler also formally assumed a 25-year protectorate over Slovakia. To show that he had interests out side of Europe, the Mehrer signed a "most-favored-nation" commercial treaty with Manchukuo, Japan's Far Eastern satellite...
...year Manhattan's Guaranty Trust Co. has been smoothly squelching Financier Robert Young in a spectacular battle for control of the rich Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. (TIME, April 25 et seq.). Robert Young controlled the common stock of Alleghany Corp., top holding company of the oldtime Van Sweringen railroad domain. But Guaranty was trustee for three Alleghany bond issues under an indenture which specified that whenever the collateral (including Alleghany's C. & O. holdings) behind them fell below 150% of their face value, the bank could impound it. When the collateral so fell, the bank impounded...
Harvard is probably completely unaware of this process of her evolution. Be that as it may, Harvard is most certainly not a peppy and spiritous land like the hills of Hanover; it is rather a lotus-land, the private domain of Indifference. Cantabridgians would shy in dismay from any public demonstration of simple school spirit. But secretly most of them admit that all is not well here, that there might be a more ideal attitude. And certainly they would not wish to see Dartmouth hide its spontaneous war-whoops under a hypocritical cloak of assumed indifference...
...editions of Mein Kampf lay a publishing battle as hard-fought as many an early Hitler struggle. Having made scrupulous arrangements with the copyright holders, Reynal & Hitchcock applied for a temporary injunction against Stackpole, which claimed-among other things-that Hitler's Battle now belongs to the public domain. Last week a Federal judge in Manhattan denied the injunction. Both publishers meanwhile battled against time, with the result that both translations are hurried, occasionally inaccurate, always heavy and Germanic in idiom. The Stackpole version is somewhat easier reading, the Reynal & Hitchcock job has the advantage of being annotated. Arrows...
...gets off the public domain only by consent of private landowners. Its No. 1 private job: erosion control. The Corps shows community groups of farmers how to combat soil-wastage, has built 4,400,490 dams to check erosion. It also digs and maintains ditches for drainage districts organized by local governments and cooperatives. Today it looks to the 84,400,000 acres of U. S. farm land requiring drainage as one of its most useful future fields of operations...
