...United Kingdom it would be good "dollar diplomacy" to join an economic boycott of Japan sure to benefit Britain's depressed textile industry, now hamstrung by Japanese competition, but as the London Daily Express asked: "Are those demanding Sanctions against Japan prepared to go to war to enforce them?"

Hitched to the crack Nord Express out of Paris for Berlin, a privately chartered sleeping car was hailed in the dead of night at Cologne this week with shouts of "Heil Windsor!"

It was at the Chicago River that President Roosevelt paused to make his speech and it was there that the last important link was last week completed at a cost of $11,500,000, $2,324,881 of which was contributed by Mr. Roosevelt...

He seems as over unable to express any natural emotions with his vocal chords.
