Optimum. There was reason to think that Italy, far from imagining that France can be bluffed into handing over Tunisia without a fight, much less into handing over Corsica, or Nice or Savoy, is trying mainly to get or keep other things. Il Duce in the past few weeks has already got France and Britain to recognize his conquest of Ethiopia. That is in the bag, and it was a big part of the original Hoare-Laval Deal (TIME, Dec. 16, 1935, et seq.). There are also the beautiful Spanish Isles, Majorca and Iviza, now effectively occupied by Mussolini...
...play to make first-night audiences shrive themselves for past sins is American Landscape. Four years of sulking in his tent have robbed the Rice who wrote The Adding Machine, Street Scene, Counsellor-at-Law of all his old cunning, power, punch. American Landscape tells of the head of an old Connecticut family (Charles Waldron), a benevolent paternalist out to sell his factory because it has been unionized. To make a clean sweep, he decides to sell his farm as well. But when he agrees to sell it to a Nazi Bund for a "recreation ground," not only his family...

In any ordinary year Editor Wier's weighty off spring might have taken first prize. But this week another lusty 8-lb. volume...
Probably four boards will remain: Education, Home Missions, Foreign Missions, Christian Work for Women. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society will have to join with one of the last two. Last fortnight its president of the past 17 years, soft-spoken Mrs. Evelyn Riley Nicholson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, voiced a plea not only for the members of her society but for Methodist women in general : "We implore that you not relegate our activities to a subsidiary position to men's work in such a way as to limit us." While Methodist committees last week explored ways & means...
