Though the London Times is the mouthpiece of the British Government as a whole, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden has a still more personal mouthpiece in the Yorkshire Post, in which his wife's family has interests. Very much blunter was the Yorkshire Post editorial of the same date: "Could any impertinence be more naive? Could any illustrate better THE SEEMINGLY persistent incapacity of the German to realize the other fellow's point of view? Reverse the positions-suppose Eden and Chamberlain were to come out on the platform of an official body designed to organize every Englishman living...
...wrecking Paul van Zeeland's entire political career. By no means wealthy, Paul van Zeeland is nevertheless Europe's only banker-Premier.

Since then Gottfried von Cramm, the only great post-War player in a country where until recently tennis and squash courts were discouragingly rare, has put Germany into the Davis Cup interzone final four times (1932-35-36-37).

...airlines cannot get along without airmail subsidy; 2) airmail contracts are let competitively to the lowest bidder; 3) therefore airlines often have to bid so low to get the contracts that the airmail subsidy literally costs them money. A perfect case in point took place in July when the Post Office Department opened the bids for four new airmail routes. The minor run from Cheyenne to Huron, S. Dak. went to Wyoming Air Service, for the realistic bid of 19.8? a mile. To be sure of getting the far more valuable run rom Washington to Buffalo, however, Pennsylvania-Central...
