...Herbert Hoover, since he sailed from Manhattan on Feb. 9, has been honored in Europe by the governments of 15 nations: Britain, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Poland, the Baltic States, Finland and the Scandinavian countries. ''There is more combustible material about than in 1914,'' said he in London last week, "but statesmen are more generally alive to the dangers than in 1914. None of the principal nations will be ready with their war preparations for two or three years. Most statesmen and soldiers recognize that nobody wins in a great modern war. There...
...American Committee on Rights of Religious Minorities, a 20-year-old body to which belong such people as Nicholas Murray Butler, Herbert Hoover, Senator Arthur Capper, did not forget His Beatitude's words when he became Premier last month (TIME, Feb. 28). To Patriarch Cristea the Committee's Chairman John Howland Lathrop wrote urging that, for the sake of the Christian church throughout the world, he moderate his stand. Last week, to the great surprise and pleasure of Jews in Rumania and abroad, the Patriarch...
...German Chancellor dispatched from Berlin Schuschnigg's Minister Without Portfolio Edmund Glaise-Horstenau to demand within five hours a decree by the Austrian Government "indefinitely postponing" the plebiscite.

This message was carried by Herr Josef Bürckel, Nazi leader in the Saar...

Yet Mr. Baruch has been no closer to Roosevelt II than to Hoover, Coolidge and Harding, to all of whom he furnished disinterested personal counsel and advice. But inevitably his words were taken as those of a Democrat when last week he said such things as these...
Giving postage prominence to such forgotten Democrats as Buchanan and Tyler smacks of party favoritism. The statement, in addition, that Hoover cannot be placed upon a stamp because he is alive seems more a political pretext than an error in fact. A note of optimism, however, creeps into the situation when one realizes that Mr. Farley has ruined his own chances of attaining stamp immortality. Yet if there is any significance in the Tribune's terse assertion that "Goddess of Freedom pictures will be discontinued," then all is lost...
