Chinese Ambassador Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, who had urged the Great Powers to take "concerted action of moral, material, financial and economic character," was obliged to join in casting China's vote last week for A Report-the conference's sole achievement. Even A Report was the result of heated wrangling, with Ambassador Davis among those who fought vainly to get it entitled A Report to the Governments Here Represented. "There is no sense in making a report at all!" declared Italy's Count, and cast the only dissenting vote against A Report...
Leftist planes scouting over the Guadarramas reported new concentrations of Rightist troops near Guadalajara. Other sources reported nearly 100,000 Rightist troops going southward to join the Andalusian army of boastful "Radio General" Queipo de Llano. At week's end came a cracker.

I can't tell this one tonight!" Instead Max told the one about the girl who said to him "Aren't you ugly...
...Roman Catholic dogma. They are not to be confused with the Orthodox churches of the Near East which, likewise, are often lumped together as "Greek." Uniat churches exist because of a Catholic policy similar to the old trust builder's maxim: If you can't lick them, join them. The Roman Church absorbed numerous Orthodox faithful by allowing them to keep their customs, the discipline of their clergy, and their rites. To U. S. Catholics, Uniat Catholics of the Greek Rite were almost unknown until some 50 years ago. Then they appeared in districts where immigrants were arriving...
