Last week urbane Apostle Aranha, an ex-cowboy who still carries lead in his shoulder from the 1930 Presidential campaign, completed a profitable month's stay in the U. S. Under the auspices of his friend Cordell Hull he had not only talked business but done business with Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, and Export-Import Bank President Pierson. Before cameramen these gentlemen cordially sealed the deal which they had made in a month's negotiations. Its terms...

The Walloons were furious and the Cabinet of Premier Paul Henri Spaak fell on that issue. It was suspected that King Leopold had backed the appointment.

Last week a shortlived Cabinet-that of Walloon Premier...
