...with splendiferous display and a most ingenious demand thought up by Polish Foreign Minister Colonel Josef Beck. He pointed out that Poland is in part composed of former lands of the German Empire, argued that if any former Imperial colonies are restored to Hitler's Germany "it is obvious" that similar colonial territory must be "proportionately restored" to Poland! This brilliant piece of Polish logic gave the French Foreign Minister a fine headache with which to start his tour...

Not only did they yammer about the 10? price differential between wool tops futures and raw wool, but they claimed that wool tops margins are too low, speculation too rife. The Providence Journal announced that a group of dealers this week will ask the Senate Wool Investigating Committee to suspend trading in wool tops futures. While other wool factions called this "ridiculous," Senator Alva Blanchard Adams of Colorado...
