...brewed with uncommon energy and ability, leaving no page in the book of mob inflammation unturned, no trick in the militarist deck unplayed. M. Daladier has been an apt pupil, and the guerre de revanche, seemingly moribund, has blossomed beneath his hand. The great obstacle is economic expediency, but Lloyd's are willing to wager at three to one odds that the French and German foreign offices can achieve the decisive calorie which will boil this issue away, and bring the kind of unmoneyed, simple conflict which dragged over Germany during the Thirty Years...
Everyone has infantile paralysis at sometime in his life, it was revealed in recent experiments made at the Medical School by the Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission under the direction of Dr. W. Lloyd Aycock. However, although everyone has the disease, only an occasional child becomes crippled. The average person merely contracts a mild form, which is usually not recognized, and from it develops immunity, subsequent exposure to the virus producing no ill-effects...

S. banks can move these "blocked marks" is to sell them at a discount in dollars (usually 15%) to tourists or merchants who need marks to spend in Germany, Last spring the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American ("Hapag") Lines began to accept blocked marks in payment for passage.

He ordered Hapag to pay $69,000 in restitution, North German Lloyd to pay $113,000-this money...
...Because the University of Virginia had been without a full president for nearly two and one-half years, alumni, faculty and students lately began prodding the Board of Visitors to appoint one. Most of them urged the name of Dr. John Lloyd Newcomb who had assisted the late Dr. Edwin Anderson Alderman since 1926 and who became acting president upon his death (TIME, May 11, 1931). To arguments that Virginia should get a nationally-known president they replied that Harvard with James Bryant Conant and Princeton with Harold Willis Dodds had taken comparatively little-known men from their own ranks...
