This was parroted by German officials high & low last week while the Realmleader kept mum. Every wiseacre in Europe was saying that win, lose or draw for Italy, the Ethiopian war must prove a victory for Germany. If II Duce is permitted or succeeds anyhow in snatching colonial territory, Der Führer after that can scarcely be halted eventually in his announced purpose of "redeeming" the onetime Imperial German overseas colonies now held by other Great Powers. If on the other hand, Dictator Mussolini is balked by the League of Nations, the Italian attitude toward France is sure...
...Throughout our National history we have had a great program of public improvements, and in these past two years all that we have done has been to accelerate that program. . . .

...preparing to drop his hot potatoes as fast as he could. Senator Long had filibustered to death the Third Deficiency Bill containing an appropriation for enforcement of potato control (TIME, Sept. 2). Last week Secretary Wallace announced without apparent regret that Comptroller McCarl was unwilling to let AAA draw enforcement funds from other sources. "I found," smiled the Secretary, "that funds just didn't seem to be there. That may not sound very logical but that's the way life is. ...
