...soundproof police cellars had just been executed last week the 18 Old Bolsheviks condemned at Moscow's latest blood-purge trial (TIME, March 21. et ante) and one of the dead was Nikolai Krestinsky, up to a few months ago First Vice-Commissar of Foreign Affairs. In the past twelve months Commissar Litvinoff has also suffered the execution or disappearance of nearly all the great figures of Soviet diplomacy, including the Soviet Union's chief expert on Near & Far East affairs, Leo Karakhan, and several Soviet diplomats have fled abroad to denounce Communism & Stalin. Moscow papers had just...
...CRYSTAL WORLD-Richard Aldington- Doubleday, Doran ($1.75). An author who always manages to seem honester than the words he writes, Novelist Aldington (Death of A Hero, All Men Are Enemies, et al.) here plies his trade-secret with a heavy hand. Twenty-one oozy love lyrics, written in the first person, are followed by a commentary in which he describes the crystal sources of the ooze. For debutantes, deadly poison...
Money for Trotsky. Prisoners examined by Prosecutor Vishinsky last week testified that both before and after Trotsky's expulsion from Russia (TIME, Jan. 1, 1928, et seq.), they have kept him always supplied with enormous sums: one time 20,000 German marks; then 15,000 Sterling pounds; in all a cool $1,000,000.

...traditional, polite contempt. But by an interesting coincidence, the proposed visit of the King & Queen of England to Paris this June is being preceded by two unusually large and official shows of English painting. Last month Parisians fought a preliminary bout with their insularity at an exhibition of Caricatures et Mœurs Anglaises, 1750-1850 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. And last week at the Louvre, in the presence of the entire diplomatic corps and a select audience of French notables, President Albert Lebrun opened the first comprehensive show of English art ever held...
...exhibition of caricatures was organized by a new Franco-British Association of Art et Tourisme, sponsored by Their Excellencies the British and French Ambassadors, and numbering among its active officers Anglophile André Maurois. Frenchmen, who are still fond enough of Daumier and Grandville (TIME, Nov. 8) to use their drawings in modern advertisements, got plenty of fun out of their English predecessors and contemporaries, Hogarth, Rowlandson, Gillray, Cruikshank et al., represented by 391 sketches, engravings and lithographs. But this was only a foretaste of the grandeurs to come...
