...From Paris last week came word that Germany, angered by President Roosevelt's and Secretary Hull's speeches against autarchy (TIME, Aug. 29), had declined to negotiate with U. S. Director George Rublee of the Intergovernmental Refugee Bureau. In Berlin, applications by German and Austrian Jews for admission to the U. S. still swamped the U. S. Embassy. The quota is 27,370 per annum. Jews can take only 8% of their wealth out of Germany.

Last year, when the Merchant Marine Act terminated all ocean mail contracts. Dollar whirled nearer than ever the maelstrom of 77B. In January, the Maritime Commission caught it just in time, awarded a $1,400,000 temporary six-month subsidy, ordered the leaky financial hull scraped and calked before it would consider a permanent subsidy. When the six-month grant expired, the Dollar crew had not completed the required financial overhaul, proposed instead counter plans that smacked of the old Captain's brass. Typical suggestion was that for the old Captain's bargain ships, on which...
