...last week when the Japanese-French agreement on Indo-China forced U. S. action. There was nothing sensational about Secretary Hull's condemnation of the deal. Nor was it exceptional news when, two days later, Jesse Jones announced an Export-Import Bank loan of $25,000,000 to stabilize Chinese currency-for weeks Financier T. V. Soong has haunted Washington, working for a $100,000,000 loan. There was nothing out of the ordinary when President Roosevelt next decreed a complete embargo on shipments of scrap iron and steel to Japan. In the midst of these moves, whose only...
...critic who has just been appointed visiting lecturer, will be a valuable addition to Harvard's topnotch Slavic department. But his presence here raises two pertinent questions: (1) If Professor Ernest J. Simmons' appointment was terminated last year as an economy move, how can the University afford to import an expert to fill his shoes?

S. disposal, no enemy could successfully invade the U. S. from the Atlantic...
...turfmen, the arrival of Bahram was big news. But bigger still was the news that his new owners were not the Wideners, Woodwards and Whitneys who usually import great European stallions, but a syndicate of four young men, all under 35: Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Sylvester Labrot Jr., James Cox Brady Jr. and Walter P. Chrysler Jr. Alfred Vanderbilt is no tyro at either raising or racing thoroughbreds. Six years ago, on his 21st birthday, he inherited his mother's magnificent stud farm and racing stable, invested half a million or more in Pimlico and Belmont Park race tracks...
