...towers still standing (TIME. March 19). At present Author Malraux lives in Paris, working for the publishing house of Gallimard. His first book (Limes en Papier} written when he was 20. was poetic prose. His five subsequent books have all been based on his experience in the Orient. One of them. The Conquerors, was translated, published in the U. S. (1929). Restless. fair-skinned, well-built, with large sad grey eyes that stare intensely past the person he is talking to, Andre Malraux loves to talk, but never about himself. Says his friend and translator Haakon Chevalier, after sitting...

The Navy was glad to go, not because it was itching for a fight, but because the Fleet trains better on the Pacific where the climate is milder and exercise grounds superior.

Roy Howard, too, as head of Scripps-Howard Newspapers, made his peace with AP several years ago and now controls six memberships. Last year he visited the Orient at the same time as Kent Cooper, AP's able general manager, and the two were wined and dined together like the best of friends...
...added that the European situation in 1934 shows a fantastic similarity with that of 1914, with a complete renaissance of what Mr. Stoddard calls "Europe's ancient feuds." The only difference are some new components in the Balkan alliances and a strong and enigmatical Italy. He cannily observed the Orient, too, including America's suckers-game in China, and predicts America's participation, willy-nilly, in either a protracted naval war on the Atlantic or the Pacific. He cites President Roosevelt's palpable navalism, as creating the sort of moral and material tension that eventuates in war. Lastly, he points...
