...Hankow, the Chinese de facto capital, last week appeared Miss Agnes Smedley, a U. S. author who was first widely heard of during the kidnapping of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (TIME, Jan. 4, 1937 et seq.). At that time when the Communists needed someone to broadcast their propaganda in English from Sian, she was put on the air. Fond of dressing like a Red Army soldier with red, five-pointed star in cap, Agnes Smedley announced last week that she had hurt her back, therefore would write a book on the Chinese Communists instead of marching further with them against...
...Foreign Minister Kalman de Kanya. Unfortunately for them, Austria and Hungary are no longer so important to Italy as they seemed when they were the only sizable satellites II Duce could get to revolve around Rome. In recent months Yugoslavia has come under strong Italian influence (TiME, Dec. 20 et ante) and Germany, the planet at the other end of the self-styled "Rome-Berlin Axis," has brought Rumania under its influence. Therefore Premier Mussolini had not considered it necessary to go personally to Budapest, and Count Ciano quickly finished off the main Fascist business in hand, got official diplomatic...
Thus Yugoslavia served notice that she no longer considers France, still nominally her ally, "dominant" in the Danube basin. The recent tour of Danube states and Poland by French Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos (TIME, Dec. 20, et seq.) was followed immediately by the setting up in Rumania of a pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic regime unfriendly to France. When Premier Stoyadinovich sounded off, the Delbos journey appeared to have been almost a total loss. However, M. Delbos' worries were at the moment closer home. His Government had fallen...
Recently Eamon de Valera secured the adoption of a new Constitution which has changed the Free State into Eire (TIME, July 12 et ante). The new Constitution is so drawn that the "territory" of Mr. de Valera's nation "consists" of the whole island, and yet its "jurisdiction" today is only over what was formerly the Free State and not over Northern Ireland (see map).* Not only does Eire have to be mapped as two areas at once, but the whole conception is of a Catholic Irish nature, recalling that the new Constitution opens with the words...
Radio's glibbest cinemagpie is Jimmy Fidler, whose broadcasts of Hollywood gossip are sponsored by Procter & Gamble Co. (Drene Shampoo). Last week Cinemactress Constance Bennett de la Falaise de la Coudraye sued Fidler, sponsor, et al. for libel, asking $250,000 damages. Flip Fidlerism: that Connie had snubbed Comedienne Patsy Kelly on a Hal Roach set; that studio workmen, Patsy's pals, bought flowers for her, none for Connie...
