...Morrow-Lindbergh engagement was incredible not only to dream-sick young girls. Mr. Morrow's good friend and Englewood, N.

Therefore when the British press quoted Sir Esme as saying that "before long" something will be done about naval limitation, Sir Austen speared the Ambassador with a statement as sharp and chill as an icicle: "There has been no change in the situation...
