...Armistice Day at Arlington National Cemetery. Boss Batista eagerly left Cuba for the first time in his 37 years, turned up with his buxom lady, several aides and a trunkful of uniforms. His old enemy Sumner Welles, now Under Secretary of State, was the first to pump his hand at Union Station. To make the welcome royal, the U. S.

...reported a membership of 4,037,877 (before deducting I. L. G. W.'s 250.000); three-year receipts of $3.540.385.62; expenditure of $3,510,954.93; balance on hand. $29,430.69.

And he wrote Shining Scabbard, a grim novel of French family life, with no closer acquaintance with France than French literature...
...Austrian and Czech crises its disapproval of such barbarianism. To the pleas of France and England, Hitler has already shown himself impervious. But a scowling rebuke from the United States, doctrinal defender of South America, in which Hitler has evinced a colony interest, might prove a heavy restraining hand on the Brown Shirt shoulder, for the United States is one of the few countries which must still be conciliated--not dictated...
