Salesman of News-Week to its charter investors was an ambitious Englishman, Capt. Thomas J. C. Martyn, a onetime foreign news editor of TIME. Through his second wife, a Cheney (silk), and other connections, and using TIME's record as a sales argument, he was able to enlist the following sums from the follow-ing principals for original and salvage financing...
Until facts should emerge, observers overseas could only cast about for a hypothesis which would fit the situation, and one lay ready to hand.
