...Hull brandished under the knifelike nose of French Finance Minister Bonnet a copy of that thick pamphlet, the Conference agenda, asking with passionate emphasis whether there were not scores of subjects left which the Conference could discuss. The Frenchman admitted that there were. Japan's frail old Viscount Ishii voiced his shrill support of Mr. Hull. Premier Bennett declared that the Conference had only scratched the surface of its tasks. Grudgingly, after three hours of debate, the Conference Bureau (steering committee) instructed all subcommittees to report this week what subjects can still be profitably dealt with.* Thus officially...
...sharply did this last seem aimed at Japan's position in China that the world cocked an eye at Washington, where Japan's chief delegate to the London Conference, Viscount Ishii, was momentarily due, to sit on President Roosevelt's famed black leather couch and talk as friends, face to face, about what the world needed.

Do not forget that Germany was the country with which Belgium...
...Viscount Ishii, thus called upon to take the floor, read rapidly the formula of compromise arrived at by secret negotiations among the Great Powers and drafted in its final form early last week by the Council commission created for that purpose (TIME, Sept. 6). Those present remarked that Viscount Ishii's purring syllables, impassive mien and gestureless delivery suggested a Buddhist deity bringing to Christians surcease from strife. As the last word was uttered, M. Benes darted a keen glance about the horseshoe-shaped Council table: "There are no objections? Then the resolution is adopted...
