With neat, precise, pince-nezzed Dwight Whitney Morrow out of Mexico and on his way to the London Five-Power Naval Conference (see p. 23), the New York Herald Tribune, staunchest Administration organ, felt free to report last week that Ambassador Morrow has not been especially popular with the "American Colony" in Mexico City. Reason (no reason was given by the cautious Herald Tribune): the Colony feels that Ambassador Morrow, unlike his predecessor, Ambassador James Rockwell Sheffield, has not fought to the last ditch for the individual rights of U. S. citizens in Mexico, but has promoted general amity between...
...recess, with the Prime Minister and every statesman of consequence away on vacation, caused the grave and startling news from India to be received with curious apathy. Evidently carnivorous Church of Englanders still view the menaces of vegetarian Hindus with the customary contempt. The Daily Herald, party organ of Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald, recalled that during 1929 the Indian Nationalists demanded "dominion status," and complacently alluded to the 1930 demand for Pur an Swaraj (Complete Independence) as "an academic change involving no immediate consequences."

By next morning, however, cooler counsels prevailed, and Le Temps, semi-official organ of the French Foreign Office said: "If there was an insult, it was not to France, but to Rumania. . . . With a government like that at Moscow it is a singularly delicate and always ungrateful task to attempt to perform good offices...
Isvestia, official news organ of the Soviet Government, saw the note as "adding insult to Stimson's meddling injury," denounced the "cynical insolence of the Rumanian Government, whose troops and gendarmes still occupy our Province of Bessarabia." Happily for Rumanians, they were prevented by strict censorship from hearing that they are "third-class," from knowing that their eight-year-old King Mihai has been grossly insulted, his honor sullied, his puissance mocked...
