...Grace of God and by the recently expressed will of 78% of her 250,000 subjects, the Grand Duchess Charlotte, 32, reigns and rules over Luxembourg. Her richly wooded and softly meadowed realm dozes complacently between Belgium and Germany. Her capital, the City of Luxembourg, rises aloof and serene upon a small plateau. Her mild and irreproachable consort is Prince Felix de Bourbon-Parma. Last week a dire project was under way to introduce into this quiet Eden a prodigious roisterer, a mighty brawler, a veritable Serpent...

These companies, as well as other British iron & steel concerns, might have joined the European Steel Entente formed a year ago (TIME, Oct. 11, 1926), and prospered. That entente, which lasts until April 1, 1931, includes iron & steel industries of France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Saar. They agreed to limit their production in accordance with the volume of demand; they have made money. Whereas until 1924 Great Britain exported more iron & steel than any other European country, in 1925 France took the lead. Last year Germany became leader (5,348 metric tons). However, England's coal strike last...
