...know why I did it. It worked! Along with my South American passport, I guess they weren't prepared psychologically to find TIME in my pocket. They bleated: "Po-anglee-sky," and then began to jabber among themselves that perhaps I had something to do with the Americans. TIME had done the trick...
...bustling life, Monnet, the son of a brandymaker in the French town of Cognac, has sold bonds on Wall Street, peddled wine to fur trappers of Hudson Bay, liquidated a Swedish match company and rebuilt a Chinese railroad, served in wartime Washington as a British diplomat (his passport was specially endorsed by "Winston S.

None of the ports saw fit to recognize the C.C.S.D. passports or currency, so Theodorus' fellow passengers were forced to stay on board. Some were restive and disgruntled because the President had put silver piping on their uniforms while only a favored few had gold, but as long as the provisions held out, they were happy enough.
