...fade and blend, but suddenly came the threat of Anschluss (TIME, March 30, April 6). Dr. Julius Curtius, the German Foreign Minister, negotiated with Austria a plan for a Zollverein (customs union) with Germany, in such heavy-handed fashion that everyone knew Anschluss (a political union) to be his object. France mortally hates & fears to see her former enemies unite. Had the late, great Dr. Gustav Stresemann remained German Foreign Minister, he would have been smart enough to keep Anschluss dark for a few more months, until after the French election. But Stresemann the First is dead, there...
...Treasury silver certificate number M71525894A entitling him to one silver dollar, hopes that nobody else has a bill of the same number entitling them to his dollar-for that is what such duplication would amount to.

The most of us had not heard of these men before, but they represented well known periodicals from home. We knew not the object of their visit, but felt it must be one of importance to Chile, and we so talked to our Chilean friends and associates. Our humiliation and disgrace was complete. . . . Their insults and . . . actions in and about their hotel leaves a trail impossible to eradicate. God help us if American newspaper...
Oxford, Buenos Aires and Chicago are the three most intoxicated districts in the world according to the university's magazine "The Isis." The two cities have no designated reason for their debauchery, but the Oxonian undergraduates drink "from habit." Why "The Isis" should object to this is hard to understand when one realizes that huntsmen dress purely as a matter of habit...
