...this summer almost suggests that Secretary Frank Billings Kellogg functions best when the rest of the Government is, for the most part, away from Washington. Last week, with plans nearly matured for the multilateral treaty signing which is to crown his regime, Secretary Kellogg announced definite progress on the long-tangled China problem. In Nanking, a tariff treaty was signed by the U. S., granting de facto recognition to the Nationalist regime of the Chinese Republic (see p.23). The Navy Department prepared to withdraw from Chinese waters some of the 56 U. S. warboats now there under command of Admiral...
...Treasury was last week "resting, just resting" at Dinard, on the French coast. But he had a visitor, S. Parker Gilbert, Agent-General for Reparations.

...warm week in New York State. At the end of it, Nominee Smith motored down Long Island to Hampton Bays, where stands Canoe Place Inn, oldtime roadhouse patronized in summer by Tammany politicians and Southampton society folk, in winter by hungry & thirsty duck-hunters. Surrounded by friends, family and the ears and eyes of the public press, he plumped into the salt water in a white-striped bathing suit with a gold religious medal hung around his neck. He rolled like a porpoise, spouted like a whale, chortled like a boy. The cooling off had been made doubly welcome...
