...week to show that it meant no harm to any other nation. In Rome a non-aggression pact with Italy was signed. A guest in the still magnificent English Gothic Morosov Palace (now the Foreign Office guest residence) and there plied with champagne and caviar blini was bulky, friendly Edouard Herriot of France. Holding no government post, Citizen Herriot smiled a great deal and said nothing. All Moscow was convinced that new Franco- Russian trade agreements were brewing, felt that the old problem of the 20 billion ($4,000,000,000) gold franc loan made by France to the Imperial...
...moment when the Nazi legions were marching to the East and to the West, at the moment when Benito Mussolini was watching his troops practice protecting northern Italy. Premier Edouard Daladier of France went to Metz to inspect a 125-mile section of the chain of secret underground fortresses and tunnels that will soon protect the French frontier from Belgium to the Swiss Alps.

Alarmed, Secretary of the Treasury Woodin declared in Washington that the U. S. Delegation could not have agreed in London to even tentative dollar stabilization. This restored uncertainty-a bull point in WalI Street-and prices firmed...
Fifteen-minute speeches were the rule, but tall, gaunt Chancellor Neville Chamberlain of the British Exchequer droned on for 38 minutes, read what sounded like a catalog of every job which a world conference could possibly attempt. Speaking for France broad-shouldered, big-voiced Premier Edouard Daladier called sharply for dollar and pound stabilization beside the stable gold franc. Most polished, most eloquent and most fervent was U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull's appeal for World co-operation and lower tariffs, but it did nothing to clear up the Conference fog as to what...
