...Netherlands have contributed more than tulip bulbs and wooden shoes to the furtherance of civilization. On our five-day cruise through the Dutch canals we found "Heineken's Bier" superior to any brand on tap at Jim Cronin's. Judging by our boat, however, the country's sea power is declining. "The "Swallow IT" was a 20-foot converted life boat with a lowerable mast which left the vessel still too high to go under bridges, an engine which required the constant attention of two deafencd men, and a stove that never worked. But the scenery and the people made...
...more week of jubilee, the Queen will formally reign (during the past 3½ months she has been in retirement while Juliana acted as Regent).

No plans whatever for the re-organization of Germany's two greatest shipping lines were announced. Last spring Chancellor Hitler gave correspondents to understand that he viewed with disfavor their close working agreement, thought they ought to compete more vigorously. Last week Double Chairman Helfferich, in whose person Hamburg-American...
...past 14 years the most influential organization in Germany has been the Federation of German Industries, which in its time has made and upset Chancellors and governments. Last week the entire directorate resigned to be replaced by Nazi sympathizers. President of the North German Lloyd, 73-year-old Philip Heineken, resigned too. The cinema industry, from which Nazi leaders expect a great deal in the way of propaganda, shut down completely while government leaders prepared rules to forbid Jewish actors, executives, salesmen...
