The Christian Century declared that Mr. Roosevelt's speech was "like the attempt of a Mohammedan mullah to raise desert tribesmen to frenzy by preaching another jehad...
Although tending to be over-melodramatic in presentation, "Drums," an English film now at the University, nevertheless unfolds an engrossing tale of mutiny and conspiracy among the natives of northwest India. Filmed entirely in technicolor, the picture contains splendid interior shots of a traditional Mohammedan feast, as well as magnificent panoramic views of rugged mountain gorges.

Kamal Atatürk has now received a $30,000,000 British loan, dispatches confirmed last week, and Turkey has agreed to spend 100% of it buying armaments "Made in Britain." France has chipped in with a loan to Alexandretta on terms pleasing to The Turkish Dictator...
