...Hearst v. The Senate. Had William Randolph Hearst, bold son of a onetime Senator,* tried to make the U. S. Senate his debtor, his newsboy or his strong-arm man? The special committee under Senator Reed of Pennsylvania (TIME, Dec. 19) continued finding out. First of all it examined Publisher Hearst to learn how, when & where he had obtained pseudo-official Mexican documents indicating that $1,215,000 was to have been paid to four U. S. Senators, with Mexican President Calles' halfbrother, Mexican Consul General Arturo M. Elias of Manhattan, and Lawyer Dudley Field Malone of Manhattan...
...investigators reported to the Senate that there was "not one scintilla of evidence" that Senators Borah, LaFollette, Norris and Heflin had been paid, or even offered one cent. The Mexican Government pronounced Mr. Hearst's documents total forgeries. The Senate Committee proceeded therefore to try to find out who did the forging and why. To this end U. S.

A Liberal cloud, once "no bigger than a man's hand," is swelling notably puffed by the "Hearst of England," Lord Rothermere, who recently shifted his always opportunist support from Stanley Baldwin to David Lloyd George (TIME, Nov. 7). Since Labor is not likely to emerge weakened from the coming conflict, a Liberal resurgence would slash deep into the Conservative majority. Before such a slash is attempted, Stanley Baldwin, most negative of British...
...Washington, last week, Publisher William Randolph Hearst went far toward quoting the market price which he considers sound. Testifying before a Senate special committee (see THE CONGRESS) he named "$15,000 or $16,000" as the purchase price of the recent Hearst series of pseudo-Mexican documents purporting to show that huge bribes were ordered "paid" to four U. S. Senators (TIME...
