...restore Mr. Bolton to a seat in the House, and it is just within the realms of possibility that he will restore not only Mr. Bolton but enough other Republicans to give his party a House majority. In that case little Joe Martin, who talks with a down-East accent, lives in an unpretentious bachelor apartment at the Hay-Adams House, would presumably become Republican Floor Leader to succeed Bert Snell who would move up to the Speakership. No one expects anything of this sort to happen this year. But how close Joe Martin can come to making it happen...
...Prussian war of 1866, but its 81 soldiers did not reach the front in time to fight. In 1914-18 Liechtenstein was neutral. Liechtenstein is 15 miles (beeline) of the upper Rhine Valley. It is a flag stop on the Paris-Budapest railway. The scenery is unbeatable; on the east side of the valley the Alps rise 8,441 ft. at the top of the Naafkopf.

New England trade was down 21% as its rambling textile mills operated on a 3-day week. Glass, steel and auto-part mills were listless in northern Ohio. Northern Illinois trade shrank as Chicago unemployment grew. In Manhattan trade volume plumped 19% with cinemansions and department stores feeling the pessimism of Wall Street...
After China, prophesies Price, comes inevitable Japanese domination of the Philippines, Siam, Dutch East Indies, Australia, New Zealand, the African west coast. Having enumerated his reasons why Japan cannot lose and the U. S. cannot win in the Orient, Author Price suggests that the U. S. "retire gracefully." His alternative suggestion is that the U. S. hereafter do business exclusively with Japan...
