Increasingly pot-bellied King Carol of Rumania was last week back in Bucharest, his capital, after an eventful visit to Prague where he had discussed future policy towards Russia with Czechoslovakia's pro-French President Eduard Benes.

...foster patriotism, and to serve the country in peace as well as in war, the American Legion stages annually the World's Greatest Organized Drunk. There pot-bellied morons, stinking drunk, and once again briefly freed from the ties of home, dirty up the town which has been lucky enough to secure their services, pinch and heckle the female passers-by, and in general demonstrate to the world the manifold advantages of the democracy for which it was, unfortunately, not made safe...
