...Hamburg is a seaport 75 miles from the sea. Altona is to Hamburg as Camden is to Philadelphia, a swarming, separately administered suburb on the River (Elbe). In Altona are workingmen's flats, deserted factories, ramshackle athletic clubs, empty lots cut up into thousands of little gardens each with a tool shed, many with a flagpole and a red Communist flag.

Cooperating Conference. Month ago Emil Lederer, resident U. S. director of Hamburg-American Line, was elected "tsar" of the North Atlantic Passenger Conference (TIME, May 9). Last week his regulating hand was seen when all lines announced a 5% upping of eastbound and round-trip tourist third rates and a 10% upping of eastbound and round-trip rates for regular third class. Westbound rates were increased but slightly. Originally all lines had intended a 10% reduction but Canadian Pacific cut 20% and several competitors followed. The 20% reduction made operations unprofitable...
