...sells it in his own country. But cunningly woven into Administrative language is a new threat against foreign producers who undervalue their imports to cheat the U. S. tariff. If the U.

...influence of a "New" Tammany in New York Democratic politics. No longer are there fatherly scoldings from Albany, stern advice to "cut the nonsense and get to work." Mayor Walker, in full command, has placed his own man, John Francis Curry, at the head of Tammany Hall (TIME, May 6).

President Herbert Clark Hoover's contribution to the League of Nations' disarmament parley in Geneva was the new method which he personally devised to make possible an exact comparison between the fighting strengths of naval ships of different nations according to an algebraic formula (TIME, May 6). Last week the Preparatory Disarmament Commission adjourned without having so much as debated or considered the merits of the Hoover Formula. From the first the President's representative-Hugh Simons Gibson, U. S. Ambassador to Belgium-had been ready to divulge details of the formula in confidence to those nations...
