Once more the dark round table in Munich's white marble Fiihrerhaus held four pairs of elbows - but the other two belonged to Germany's Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Italy's Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano. Once more the world waited with bated breath for news of their decision - but that decision meant far more than war or peace in the time of a septuagenarian. This week the men at the round table in Munich intended to settle Europe's destiny until times unforeseeable...

The other was economic: Denmark is the larder of hungry Europe...

Gramicidin protects mice against huge doses of virulent pneumococci and all the other blue-staining germs so far tested. Since the tubercle bacillus belongs to this group, it seems almost certain to succumb to gramicidin...
