...commit themselves to explicit ratification, the government did not put the issue squarely, as the final showdown came. Instead the Chamber was asked to pass a weasel-Jaw authorizing popular President Gaston ("Gastounet"') Domergue to perform the act of ratification by executive decree. Prior to seeking action on even this weasel-law the government allowed the deputies to vote a resolution expressing their conviction that no matter what engagements France may undertake she simply cannot pay the U. S. more than she receives from Germany...
...government made known that the U. S. is to-day the only nation which they will abide on a parity of naval strength (TIME, July 4, 1927, et seq.). Last week the North German Lloyd was challenging very modestly no more than a passenger speed record, yet even that was bold, and of all who went to watch the Bremen steam away none knew this better than STIMMING...
...tiny Prussian (he stands scarce four feet ten) yet full proportioned, hard, compact. A dynamo of vital energy, he has built up for the North German Lloyd a whole new post-Versailles fleet of 700,000 tons. A stickler for short cuts, he insists on being called only "STIMMING."

The essential fact is simply that President Hipolito Irigoyen is the absolute and irresponsible "political boss" of Argentina. When he chooses to pay there will be no difficulty, for receipts and surplus in the Argentine Treasury are adequate, even above normal. Friends of Argentina hoped that...
Last week Bishop Cannon fired back. He sent a telegram to ecclesiastical journals, widely reprinted. Excerpts: "I DESIRE THE CHURCH TO KNOW THAT I SHALL AT THE PROPER TIME ASK FOR FULL INVESTIGATION OF ALL CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST ME, EVEN THOUGH INSTIGATED BY ENEMIES, AND DISTORTED, AND MISREPRESENTED BY HOSTILE WET PRESS. FRIENDS CONFERRED WITH THINK IT UNWISE TO ASK FOR SUCH CHURCH ACTION UNTIL COMPLETION OF THE BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS. . . . MEANTIME, I SIMPLY STATE TO MY BRETHREN THAT I HAVE NOT VIOLATED ANY CIVIL OR MORAL...
