...case of small independents and wildcatters, their offices often in their hats, the prospect of drilling and completing a 4,000-foot well, at an estimated cost of $50,000, seems decidedly remote. But to major companies with ample money and equipment, this is no great hardship. By last week, although none would admit as much-or much of anything-these companies looked like the major entrants in the forthcoming race for Cuba's oil: Atlantic Refining's subsidiary, with slightly under 740,000 acres in all provinces except Oriente; Cia Petrolera La Estrella de Cuba, subsidiary...
...Bleakest prospect facing the permanent Refugee Organization, which gets down to work this week in London, is to persuade the German Government to allow refugee Jews to carry out of the country most of their property or cash. Despite warm words of idealism doled out at Evian-les-Bains few weeks ago when the permanent Organization was set up, the hard fact remains that no nation is willing to receive penniless Jews...
...Turkish Dictatorship to the cause of Democracy is not to be $30,000,000 as at first announced (TIME, July 25) but $80,000,000. It is all to be spent by the Turks for armaments "Made in Britain."

...nations* did nothing last week except view the outlook with much alarm. Conference experts figured that the world harvest, excluding the Soviet Union, China and Manchukuo, would total 4,205,000,000 bu., 216,000,000 bu. above the all-time record set in 1928. Especially ominous was the prospect for the U. S. Once a major wheat exporter (200,000,000 bu.), the U. S. last year sold only 100,000,000 bu. abroad. This year, unless foreign countries store part of their crops, the U. S. will have an exportable surplus of 250,000,000 bu. Last week...
