...great was the Cabinet's anxiety that it decided Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden must swallow his Yorkshire pride, ask Italian Ambassador Count Dino Grandi to transmit a "personal appeal" to Premier Mussolini to keep the Bari station quiet about partition of Palestine. Since elegant Mr. Eden two years ago had an encounter with the Dictator at which they exchanged high words and parted on terms of mutual contempt (TIME, July 8, 1935), the Personal sacrifice asked of the young British Foreign Secretary last week was great. Count Grandi few days later brought the British Cabinet an especially courteous cable...
...Queen were really welcome there was no doubt. Thunderous cheers went up as the royal party climbed into an open carriage, moved off down Edinburgh's famed Princes Street, with its swank shops on one side and luxurious gardens on the other.

With him on the dais sat President Kalinin, Premier Molotov and Defense Commissar Voroshilov. while in a box just below the dais sat Foreign Commissar Litvinoff. Business of this august Bolshevik gathering in the onetime throne room of the Tsars was to take preliminary steps toward setting a date and perfecting details for the first Russian election under...
When dynamic, new Premier Negrin of the Spanish Leftists made his flying visit to Paris fortnight ago, passionately imploring aid (TIME, July 12). the canny French General Staff reputedly urged that he test and prove the present fitness of Spain's Leftist militia by ordering a full-scale offensive. Last week Premier Negrin, at Valencia, was at the controls of a Leftist offensive which sent 30,000 militia rushing out of Madrid in heroic, bloody efforts to dislodge decisively the besieging Rightists...
