Such was the probable basis of last week's titanic paper war.

British Labor's newspaper, the London Daily Herald, reported Rumania's smooth-cheeked Foreign Minister Grigore Gafencu forgot his umbrella while calling on the Greek Patriarch at Istanbul, hastily sent a man back to fetch it, exclaimed in consternation: "What is a diplomat without his umbrella...
