...energy is certainly still Gargantuan, and he still keeps tabs on everything and everyone. Last week he conferred with Count Dino Grandi on the codification of labor laws; talked with Hungarian Premier Count Teleki; witnessed experiments with thermite incendiary bombs and defenses against them; rewarded aviators and received journalists who served in the Spanish war; turned the crank of an invention designed to extract iron ore from black sand along the coast near Rome; conferred with Crown Prince Umberto about that half of the Army which the Prince commands...
Sixteen other German barges were still held, with five Hungarian ones, two belonging to Socony-Vacuum. The Yugoslav permits are a new clog in Germany's supply line wherein the fine hand of British diplomacy may or may not be seen.

Some 12,000 of them pine for restoration of a Tsar in the person of Grand Duke Vladimir, son of Grand Duke Cyril. The Whites boast a few great and a few notorious names-Sergei Koussevitzky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Sikorsky, Prince Matchabelli, Vadim Makaroff, the marrying Mdivanis. Mostly they have spent the last 22 years toasting the old days. Though White legitimists protest that they would support a Tsar only if he were called back by the people of Russia, and though the Soviet...
