Diplomacy-as so many diplomats so often assert-is a profession. Last week, like a clan of impeccable Harley Street physicians shuddering over the success of some popular "bone setter," the established diplomatic practitioners of London winced anew at Charles Gates Dawes. Publicly, with hearty fist-bangs upon a London banquet table, the U. S. Ambassador had just rasped and barked...
...luncheon-tendered by the Travel Association of Great Britain & Ireland-wearing a "tropic weave" grey business suit of hard, aggressive cut. Every other guest of consequence sweltered, of course, in correctest English morning clothes. The setting was hoar, historic Vintners' Hall, built just after the Great Fire of London in 1666, sombre, immemorial citadel of England's solemn wine trade. To talk loudly or to refuse a cup of wine in such a place would be to most Englishmen utterly impossible. Yet soon the 2,000,000 readers of London's Daily Mail learned that " 'Hell...
...Hsueh-Liang. Since Old Chang waged most of his wars from Mukden-and finally died there when his armored train was dynamited-the doughty General Sutton knows every inch of Manchuria's prospective battlefields and also the calibre and equipment of Chinese and Russian troops.

...refused to sanction payment for government bills contracted with "serious irregularities" by his predecessor, President Marcelo T. de Alvear (1922-28). Last week two new Argentine destroyers were ready for delivery in British shipyards. A transport with a crew of 800 officers and sailors had arrived at London docks, ready to take over the war boats and sail them back to Buenos Aires. Unfortunately President Irigoyen had neglected to send any money. As Horatius defied the armies of Clusium, British shipbuilders stood on the bridge of their destroyers and refused to surrender them to the Argentine Navy. Not only...
...talked last week to English Jews about a Viennese Jew who wanted Jewry to return and live in Palestine. The occasion was a London meeting to memorialize the 25th anniversary of the death of Dr. Theodor Herzl, founder of political Zionism. It was Dr. Herzl who, while reporting the famed Dreyfus affair (1894) for the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, found his attention focused on antiSemitism, his Jewish consciousness aroused.* Two years later, aged 36, he published The Jewish State, a speedily famed pamphlet which, with secular, economic emphasis, advocated Jewish national reunion. Followed congresses, interviews with world rulers, potent propagandizing...
