...behind him two large blank spaces in U. S. foreign relations such as the country has not seen in many a year. Over one blank stood the name of Germany. In one of the shortest diplomatic calls on record-two minutes-German Ambassador Hans Dieckhoff said good-by to Mr. Hull before taking himself back to Germany for a stay as "indefinite" as U. S. Ambassador Wilson's (see col. 1). In addition, Secretary Hull published the texts of an exchange of notes with Germany, begun in October and finished last week, by which he sought unsuccessfully...
Equally blank, though the Ambassadors were still at their posts,* stood U. S. relations with Japan. To his press conference Mr. Hull declared that a reply received from Japan, in response to his sharp note of October 6 warning that U. S. trade and other rights in China must be preserved, was "not responsive." Japan had talked vastly and vaguely about a "new situation" in China. As in the case of Germany, there was absolutely nothing the State Department could do except perhaps send another, sharper note, and get back another, vaguer reply. Simple fact of the matter was that...
...Mr. Hughes's qualms have lately been eased. A committee of eminent judges and attorneys (including President Arthur T. Vanderbilt of the snooty Judiciariat Society) has drawn up a compromise whereby the U. S. Judiciary's financial officer will be safely insulated from the Supreme Justices. Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst expects to have this measure passed soon after Congress meets in January.

Other justices presumably will do likewise in the circuits where they...
Chief owner of the packing industry's grand hotel is Boston Financier Frederick Henry Prince, who is board chairman of Union Stockyard & Transit Co. (and of meat-packing Armour & Co.). Mr. Prince's bawling, squealing, baaing guests might have been unhappy indeed had not Chicago police stood by to protect their white-collar attendants (see cut). Having won an NLRB election among the handlers by 281 to 280, C. I. O.'s union called the strike to speed up contract talk with the stockyard company's Vice President William J. O'Connor and General Manager...
...meeting in the Fair's administration building. Absent was George A. McAneny, the Fair's first promoter who was demoted to chairman of the Fair corporation board to make way for President Whalen. Present was a tall, shy, greying civil engineer named Joseph F. Shadgen. By proxy Mr. McAneny had to admit that Engineer Shadgen was really the man who "originated" the Fair on its site in the Flushing, L. I. salt marshes. He it was who, after nine months of study, first went to Mr. McAneny through Edward F. ("Eddy") Roosevelt (a distant, cosmopolite cousin) with plans...
