Many times Leftists have halted Rightist offensives, counterattacked with vigor, but last week's capture of Belchite, in spite of the fact that the rebels still held the Cathedral, was the first important Leftist victory since the Italian rout at Guadalajara in March (TIME, March 22 et seq.). Politically it was still more important. Jealousy behind the lines has removed from command of the Leftist International Brigade General Emilio Kleber, has seriously handicapped the defender of Madrid, General José Miaja. For the recent Saragossa-Teruel offensive 200,000 men were assembled, 200 planes, nearly 1,000 trucks. This...
Last week TWA inaugurated service on both these new runs. The one from Winslow to San Francisco is the more important for three reasons. It was ordered by the Post Office after a ruling by the Interstate Commerce Commission last spring forbidding TWA to expand in that direction (TIME, March 22). It is probably the most scenic flight for its length on any U. S. airline, passing over Grand Canyon, Boulder Dam, Painted Desert, Indian reservations. Death Valley, high Sierras and San Francisco's famed bridges. And by entering San Francisco, TWA breaks United Air's monopoly there...
...blew in the fronts of both the Cathay and Palace Hotels, which face each other across teeming Nanking Road. Two hundred and twenty people were killed and mangled. And had the ghastly scene been directed in a Hollywood studio, the cinematography could scarcely have been handled better. The MARCH OF TIME'S Cameraman Harrison Forman, an aviator, explorer and author just down from Tibet, was sitting inside the Cathay when the terrifying explosion took place. The Hearst News of the Day's, Shanghai man, a daredevil called "Newsreel" Wong, was behind the counter of his camera shop...
...first six months of 1937 net earnings reached $528,000,000 against $451,000,000 last year. But since March the increase in earnings has been slowing down. Spurting sharply in January, February and March, revenues then slumped under the impact of floods and strikes. In June net earnings actually dropped below those of June 1936. Freight loadings in the first quarter were up 15.5%, in the second quarter 12.9%, in July 7.2% and in the first two weeks of August only...
Last winter when business and stockmarket were soaring the balance of expert opinion held that stocks would suffer a spring slump, then recover to soar through the fall. Sure enough, the slump started in March, and, assisted by cold water from President Roosevelt, the crack-up of the British commodity boom and the unhappy state of the nation's labor relations, reached bottom in June. For two months thereafter all was well enough, save for the extreme thinness of stock and bond trading. On Aug. 14 Dow-Jones industrial averages reached a high of 190 for the summer. Then...
