...against their avowed enemy, the Comintern, must be managed by simpletons, and that therefore Soviet propagandists must be right in endlessly repeating that the Capitalist states have so teamed up. Last week this Soviet journalistic axiom cracked. When not all Capitalist countries but only two or three-namely, Germany, Japan and possibly Italy-were reliably disclosed last week to have made a pact against the Moscow Comintern, Soviet statesmen suddenly boiled over with an indignation they could scarcely have felt had they believed their own Communist propaganda* all these years. Instead of facing a great league of enemies, Russia faced...
...Japan has been against Russia ever since anyone can remember, but the Soviet Union and the Japanese Empire were all ready to sign once again last week their periodic treaty whereby Japanese pay for the privilege of fishing in the Far East waters of the Soviet (TIME, March 5, 1934). With the 1936 version of this document agreed to by both countries and an hour appointed for its signature in Moscow last week, abruptly Comrade Litvinoff refused to sign.

Among these are the strong commercial ties existing between them and England and Japan, also, but to a lesser extent, Germany and France. On the political side, it would not do to forget the number of Latin American countries which have presidents in name but dictators in point of fact, who might well be sympathetically disposed towards similar, dictator-controlled nations. And, lastly, it would...
...years ago Father Svensson's German provincial returned from a trip to Japan, asked the Icelander if he would not enjoy a similar jaunt. Permission was granted by the General of the Order in Rome, providing Father Svensson would write a book about his trip, obtain a reputable doctor's assurance that his health was perfect, pay his own way. Father Svensson in good shape save for a touch of rheumatism in one leg, raised money for his trip by lecturing in France, Switzerland, Germany, set out for Japan via the U. S. and Canada...
