...other delegates made helpful suggestions. French Delegate Senator Henry Bérenger explained that France, which has taken in the bulk of refugees who have fled Germany, now finds she has "arrived practically at the point of saturation, which permits her no longer to receive further refugees without upsetting the equilibrium of her social structure." M. Bérenger cried: "The hunting of a man, confiscation of his property, a concentration camp beyond which there is only the graveyard as a horizon-all this is contrary to human dignity and can result only in the catastrophic disturbance of relations between...
...designing beautiful clothes for women is no longer exclusive with a dozen dressmakers in Paris. During the past year U. S. designers have been well publicized, and a notion has got abroad that Paris is losing initiative in setting fashions. Downright U. S. citizens who rather hoped so were thoroughly disabused last week when U.

With typical boldness, Douglas decided that his best defense against the Exchange's kick was an offense: he bluntly offered...
...answer me-Yes!"-the workers answered: "Hunger!" The Krupps were not much alarmed by the change of Government in Germany after the War. Their Wartime profits were about 800,000,000 marks and they were given a subsidy to compensate them for the War's sudden end. No longer allowed to manufacture munitions, they turned out trucks, machinery, artificial teeth. The Krupps were not among the financial backers of the Nazis, says Author Menne, but now they are earning (at least on paper) enough money to make their Wartime profits seem like BBs beside cannon balls...
