Year ago the Mexican budget was nominally balanced, and the Treasury forecast an "anticipated surplus" for 1938. But when the President confiscated all foreign oil properties (TIME, March 28), Mexico lost her oil receipts, her third biggest single source of revenue, one out of every 15 pesos of Treasury income. The State Railways and numerous State-operated industries, notably sugar refining, are also doing badly. Shoes are a pet industry with President Cárdenas, who hopes that some day everyone in Mexico will have shoes, and once at a public meeting gave away 300 pairs. Last week the output...
...Deputies met to receive the first Soviet budget drawn up since the Commissariat of Finance was "purged"' last March. New Finance Commissar Arsenii Grigorevich Zverev made a budget speech declaring that it is the Soviet Union's "duty to protect . . . the interests and culture of the working masses everywhere."

...When, in March 1936, the conservative New York Herald Tribune hired Miss Thompson to write a thrice-weekly column, she was known as: 1) an unusually alert foreign correspondent with vaguely radical leanings; 2) the wife of Nobel Prizewinner Sinclair Lewis. Guided by her most passionate emotion-a consuming hatred of Hitler-Columnist Thompson began writing with shrill assurance that startled readers. As insistent as a katydid, never at a loss for an answer, almost invariably incensed about something, her column has pleased a national appetite for being scolded. Today, her On the Record is printed in 155 newspapers with...
