Like a balky bus. the Disarmament Conference moves fitfully. It took a tremendous leap forward last week when diplomats in Rome agreed to a revised version of Benito Mussolini's Four-Power Pact, when U. S. Ambassador-at-Large Norman H. Davis pledged a mild degree of U. S. co-operation in enforcing peace (TIME, May 29). Last week the bus jolted to an abrupt halt. Brakes were applied by French Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour before even his own Prime Minister realized...
...Poland 700, Czechoslovakia 670 to which are added . . . thousands of armored cars, heavy guns . . . poison gases. . . .

It showed a brawny fist, labeled Japan, clutching a crumpled sheaf of papers which blazed like a torch. It was marked: "Nine Power Treaty- Kellogg Pact." Cartoonist Talburt, one-time Toledo soda-jerker, is a Scripps-Howard ace. Oldtime Editor Negley D. Cochran who developed him says: "Some of us write editorials and are called editors; Talburt draws editorials and is called a cartoonist." The 1932 Pulitzer Prize for books on U. S. themes...
