...that body Britain's long-discussed plan for quarantining the Spanish War in Spain. Soviet Russia finally acquiesced. Main features of the plan were closing of land frontiers, greater vigilance of ships going to Spain, stationing of neutral observers in big Spanish ports, counting of foreigners fighting on either side, eventual withdrawal. There was a chance that this agreement actually was an agreement-for three days. Then, as has often happened in both factions, the Soviet Union soon found "practical" obstacles to put in the way of the plan's execution. She would not implement it with...
...catalogue of Gauguin's prints, believes that as Gauguin's rich paintings resemble tapestry, his woodcuts resemble murals. To prove it he made a photographic enlargement of Gauguin's biggest woodcut, dramatized his thesis that Gauguin was a natural muralist who could not find, either in stuffy Parisian houses or South Sea huts, walls to work upon...

This merging of the processes of teletyping and linotyping is not new. A device known as the Teletypesetter was first given a practical demonstration eight years ago. The Teletypesetter performs its operations by the use of a perforated tape rather than a photocell. Not only can either of these devices be used to receive dispatches from long distances quickly convertible into type; their inventors claim that, used to set up local copy within an office, the machines are far more efficient than manual operation of linotypes. Stories are accumulated either on the Semagraph code copy or on the Teletypesetter tape...
