Having acknowledged so much, the Japanese allowed white war correspondents to approach the front, not close enough to see much fighting but close enough to see 37 nailed-up coffins said to contain the bodies of dead Russians, and the corpse of a big-boned white man in a grey-green uniform without distinguishing marks, said to be a Soviet pilot who had been shot down...
...salient-to-the-sea, Spain's Leftists last week launched another. The second dented the south side of the salient, some 30 miles west of battered Teruel. Taking advantage of the fact that the Rightists had shipped 40,000 troops from the Teruel area to the Ebro front, bald-domed General José Miaja, commander-in-chief on the southern Leftist front, pushed his forces through thinly-held Rightist lines in the Universales Mountains. He drove down the Guadalaviar River valley for six miles, to within nine miles of Albarracin, which commands a broad, unfortified plateau leading to Teruel...
This week, as the heat lessened, the Rightists launched one of the most powerful assaults of the war.

We hope the KdF car will even raise the German birth rate by encouraging German families to have four or five children to fill it. ... This very year the first section of the KdF factory, which...
...President Lázaro Cárdenas remained financially above water largely by reason of U. S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr.'s continued purchases of Mexican silver. Mexico was in the grip of an economic upset. One day last week the great square in front of the Presidential Palace was turned over to the 25,000 demonstrators of the CTM (Confederation of Mexican Workers). The CTM Secretary General, intense Vicente Lombardo Toledano urged support of the Mexican New Deal, proclaimed: "All property owners and capitalists in Mexico are Fascists...
