Schumann's score had actually never been lost at all. The romantic, mentally ailing composer had left the concerto to Violinist Joseph Joachim, whose will consigned it to remain unheard until the 100th anniversary of Schumann's death (TIME, Aug. 23). (Joachim considered the concerto not up to snuff.) Since 1907 the concerto had rested securely in the archives of Berlin's Prussian State Library, where its existence had been well known to scholars and had been noted in dozens of bibliographies and musical dictionaries. Last April, German Music Publisher Wilhelm Strecker sent photostats of the original...
...document signed by Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano, by Japanese Ambassador Masaaki Hotta and by German Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop last week declares that "Italy will be considered an original signatory of the pact" between Japan and Germany, although it was signed last year, and that Italy's signature last week is "equivalent to signature of the original pact." Ambassadors Hotta and von Ribbentrop, having signed this ludicrous concession to a Dictator's vanity, were each rewarded by Vittorio Emanuele III, King and Emperor, with the Grand Cross of the Order of Saints Maurice & Lazarus...
...excitedly rumored that at this point Britain, France, Germany and Italy would act in the spirit of their Four-Power Pact signed in 1933 and settle the question without Russia.

This week the committee...
...been of interest to Langen & Co. is Harvard-educated Ernst ("Putzy") Hanfstaengl, onetime chief of Foreign Press Relations in Germany and a favorite of Hitler, who liked to hear him play the piano. Last February Putzy fell from grace, fled to Switzerland, thence to London. He had indiscreetly called Joachim von Ribbentrop Nazi Ambassador to London, "Bnckendrop."* He had referred to the Moors fighting in Spain for German-aided General Franco as the "new friends of Aryan culture...
...hothead, who was coming to London last week. The pro-German clique in Mayfair was purring. Anthony Eden had plucked up courage to ignore wholly unproved German charges that a Leftist Spanish torpedo or submarine had "grazed and dented" the German cruiser Leipzig. Finally, the German Ambassador to Britain, Joachim von Ribbentrop, extremely unpopular in London, was supposed to have been only bluffing when he demanded, a few days prior, that Britain and France join Germany and Italy in staging a mighty four-power naval demonstration off Valencia to warn the Spanish Leftist Government not to do any more "denting...
