...express their ideas. Naturally they warned against too precipitate airport building. Aviation still does not know what it requires in fields. Bad example is England's Croydon field. It was remodeled and enlarged just a year ago. Now it must be altered again at great cost. Airport ideas presented at Manhattan included underground passages to holes where planes would be waiting ready to start, great landing platforms over steamship piers, and a community arrangement around a circular field, its buildings rising in height as they recede from the centre. Next month at Cleveland, engineers will meet with architects, city...
...southern portion of the Loree plan. The northern portion has, of course, long since collapsed. So passes from the rail consolidation stage Juggler Loree, shrewd and potent but faced with too heavy odds. Two of his stage "properties" - the Wabash and the Lehigh Valley roads - are prominent in the present rail-merger performance. Headliners of this program are the Two Van Sweringens, Oris Paxton and Mantis James. To the Interstate Commerce Commis sion came last week a somewhat peculiar request. Briefly, the petitioner - Nickel Plate R. R. - asked permission to acquire stock control of the Wheeling & Lake Erie road. Oddity...
Almost a decade ago the Chicago Tribune, self-styled "World's Greatest Newspaper," ordered its correspondent in Moscow to present the following ultimatum to Soviet Foreign Minister Georg Tchitcherin: "You must abandon your censorship and guarantee freedom of expression, otherwise our correspondent will be withdrawn and so will the correspondents of other American newspapers, so that Russia will find herself without means of communication with the outer world."

He exercised that right last week most rashly when he rose to flay Chancellor Winston Churchill's fifth and present Budget (TIME, April 22). The Chancellor (Conservative) had abolished the tax on tea which Englishmen have paid grumblingly since the middle of the 17th century, which American colonists refused to pay at their famed "Boston Tea Party." Throughout England last week the retail price of tea- which Britons drink...
...telling them that the Laborites are so unprincipled (and probably Bolshevik, too, by gad!) that they even repudiate Lord Balfour, and say that France is worse than Russia ! Next day in the House of Commons rash Pixie Snowden, still defiant, received a Conservative broadside. Sir Austen Chamberlain was present and rather more than close to tears. He has said frankly in the past that he loves France "as a man loves a woman." "Mr. Snowden has used a most offensive term!" cried anguished Sir Austen. "A most offensive term about a friendly nation - our nearest neighbor - describing them...
