Portland, Ore., pure in morals if not in grammar, last week put into effect a new ordinance for places of amusement: "No floor entertainer shall be permitted to in any way come in physical contact with any patron." Object: to keep night club hostesses out of the laps of businessmen...
Before 1914 the great iron mines and smelters in the Briey basin provided 70 per cent of the ore used by France. The German advance wrested them from the political control of France--and quite naturally the German artillery chiefs saw to it that the mines were so protected from shell fire that they could be taken over intact. Thenceforth the mines of the Briey basin were operated for the benefit of Germany--in association with other mines in Lorraine which had been in German hands since 1871 they supplied Germany with some three quarters of the ore she consumed...
What of Krupp, now? In theory, Krupp smelts only peaceful ore, and forges its steel only into such benign shapes as locomotives, rails, bridge girders, and others purely industrial. Actually, Krupp is rearming Germany--the discoverable portion of whose annual armament bill now about $80,000,000. Germany, forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles to import armaments, receives generous supplies from Sweden (where Krupp controls the armament firm of Bofors) and Holland; forbidden to Export armaments, she ships to South America, the Far East, or to any European nation that will violate its own treaty by ordering from...
...Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun in 1926, the Canton (Ohio) Daily News in 1927. But the Pulitzer Prize winner for 1934 is so microscopic that most newsreaders east of the Rocky Mountains needed an atlas and an Ayer's Directory of Periodicals to identify it. It was the Medford (Ore.) Mail Tribune (circulation: 4,500). No less extraordinary than the obscurity of the winner was the fact that its achievement was conservatively defensive against a crusading opposition paper, the News. While the Mail Tribune got the Pulitzer Prize, the News's editor was serving a life sentence in prison...
...Senor Patino is not satisfied with his high Bolivian holdings. In Malaya are tin mines producing more than his, where ore can be produced for shipment more cheaply than in the Andes. Two years ago he got two options on a million shares of British Tin Investment Corp., a holding company. Last week he snapped up one of these options. With his stockholders' approval he began buying 860,000 shares outright, took options on 298,000 more, all at a total cost of ?808,042. If he takes up his last option he will own some 33% and working...
