...During World War 1, U. S. Secretaries of State Bryan and Lansing constantly protested such searches as contrary to international law. In practice, neutrals have come to accept the hard-boiled point of view of Great Britain's Wartime Prime Minister David Lloyd George: that since the attitude of a belligerent is governed by "the exigencies of deadly strife, the country which is determined at all costs to remain neutral must be prepared to pocket its pride and put up with repeated irritations and infringements of its interests . . . and should the difficulties of neutrality prove too great...
...diplomatic capital of Europe. It was a Mecca to which diplomats either made pilgrimages or salaamed. The Foreign Ministers of Germany, Turkey and Estonia all trotted to the Kremlin. Great Britain discussed whether she ought to send David Lloyd George there, and Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria were all on the point of dispatching top flight statesmen eastward.

The mechanical, impersonal accuracy of lens and film was sickening. Though critics praised the picture, audiences stayed away. But for fascinated fans who saw it again last week, World War II had given...
...apiece, got Attorney General Frank Murphy to agree provided it can become a going concern again, started reorganizing to open its moldy Cramp's yard in Philadelphia. On the west coast, where last spring the U. S. Navy had tried unsuccessfully to buy Bethlehem Steel's Hunters Point Drydock in San Francisco harbor, and where Admiral Land is determined to build two new shipyards, the rush to restore obsolete capacity was wildest. Western Pipe and Steel, a small steel fabricator which did only a $5,336,034 gross business last year, booked a $10,635,000 order from...
