...newcomer to the U. S. scene, has written only three books (These Restless Heads, Special Delivery, Smirt). But they bear a marked likeness to the 18 volumes of one James Branch Cabell, who announced in 1929 that he would write no more of the Biography of the Life of Manuel. Now 54, Author Cabell has found it impossible to change his spots. A much-gnawed bone of contention, with little marrow left. Author Cabell can still rouse his faithful followers to delight. Considered by himself and his admirers the most polished of U. S. writers, Cabell is often accused...

...Bankers." Major work of the Conference week was to organize ten committees, 24 subcommittees and to deal in the Steering Committee with a sensational proposal by pugnacious Mexican Foreign Minister Dr. Jose Manuel Puig Casauranc. He wanted the Conference to declare a six to ten-year all-American moratorium on international public and private debts. As high words began to fly, correspondents pressed their ears to the broad panels of the Steering Committee's door.
