...three days with considerable justice. The framework for an international agreement to cut wheat production for two years by 15% in each of the great exporting countries-Canada, U. S., Australia, Argentina-had been drawn up early in the summer by U. S. Delegate Henry Morgenthau (TIME, July 3 et seq.). Now the wheat importing nations seemed to be doing everything possible to wreck it by insisting on their rights to maintain quota restrictions and subsidies for their farmers. Suddenly came the miracle. An international conference actually agreed to do something, accomplished something, was ready to sign something, all within...
Under his orders the Prefect of Seine-et-Oise called out troops. Some 200 gendarmes, backed by blue-clad Injanterie de-Marine, piled into fire boats and sailed up stream. At dawn they met the bargemen, brandishing boathooks. With a swish high pressure hoses were turned on, washed the boatmen off their decks and into the river while wives and children screamed imprecations through the portholes. The Seine was cleared.

...book's attracting a wider attention than Rochester's. They paid Author Horgan $7,500 and royalties for his book, hope it will sell as many copies as previous Harper Prize Novels (Anne Parrish's The Perennial Bachelor, Glenway Wescott's The Grandmothers, et al.). Judicious readers will rate The Fault of Angels as a moderately entertaining, competent picture of a minor artistic phenomenon...
