Brilliantly describing the course of events leading to Angle-American friendship in the feverish years of imperialism which closed the last century, James P. Baxter, III, President of Williams, gave last night in New Lecture Hall his second of three lectures on diplomatic relations between America and England since the Civil...
...happens that Dr. Juan Negrin, the Premier of the Spanish Republic, is an old friend of mine. Apparently there were persons in the Medical Bureau who thought it would be a gracious gesture to use our friendship as a basis for collecting money to buy much needed food, clothing, and medical supplies for a people in sore distress. The enterprise was started without my knowledge; when it was under way I did nothing to check it, because the purpose was primarily humanitarian.

...part of a Japanese Ambassador's duties consists of smoothing over trivial incidents which might impair "hands across the sea" relationships. Even before he left for the U. S., the new Ambassador was faced with one of these last week.

Between Columnists James Westbrook Pegler and Heywood Campbell Broun there had long existed a somewhat strained out-of-print friendship. In print, "Old Peg," ever scornful of anything that looks like uplift, called his friend "old Bleeding Heart Broun," "the fat Mahatma." Two months ago, Columnist Pegler jabbed a particularly tender spot. American Newspaper Guild President Broun was operating a scab shop, he wrote, because the Connecticut Nutmeg, of which Broun is one-tenth owner-editor, had hired a non-union reporter. Next week, from his regular page in the New Republic, President Broun heatedly denied he had anything...
