...protege in its first struggle for expansion against Russia (1904-05), the U. S. was totally impotent in Japan and China. Unless Congress sent the Navy to enforce U. S. trade rights-which action U.

Pending some sweeping total solution of finding a home for 500,000 persecuted and unwanted German Jews, last week some few shiploads of Jewish refugees continued to arrive in Manhattan, bringing such few Jews as can manage to escape from Naziland under present harsh conditions. Each Jew who came in last week on the S. S. Westernland, for example, was a human story of almost every overtone from courage to despair, or grief...
