...made our position clear." On the Continent Mr. Eden's words were taken as a declaration no less ringing and personally sincere than he made when he honestly thought the United Kingdom would fight to save League prestige and the independence of Ethiopia (TIME, Dec. 30, 1935, et ante). At that time Prime Minister Baldwin earned his nickname "Old Sealed Lips," and recently No. 1 British Political Cartoonist Low merrily drew First Lord of the Admiralty Sir Samuel Hoare and Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain resealing the Prime Minister...
...importance, set them definitely off from Russia's masses as Mr. & Mrs. Davies are set off in the U. S. by their wealth.

...still burning with anger and purpose. From March 1934 until November 1935 he had sat in Washington as chief of the U. S. Bureau of Biological Survey, pleading for funds to save U. S. wildlife, meeting with bland indifference or red tape on every side (TIME, Aug. 12, 1935 et seq.). Politicians from the top down told him that nobody could get Government money for wildlife or anything else unless a good strong group of voters put the screws on their Congressmen. Tossing up his job, "Ding" set out to organize such a pressure group, determined to teach both Democrats...
