...continent is Telegrapher Union Internationale, or T. U. Both Ufa and T. U. belong to potent, slightly sinister Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, bristle-haired Junker. These and his famed Berlin newspapers (Der Tag, Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger) have given Dr. Hugenberg one of the most efficient machines for moulding public opinion in the world. He needed it last week, for he was attempting to force through by popular referendum a law denying Germany's War guilt, forbidding German acceptance of the Young plan. His task was as difficult as would be repealing the 18th Amendment in the U. S. Plebiscite. According...
Marie Mattingly Meloney, Editor of the Sunday magazine of the New York Herald Tribune. Later Mr. Young showed her through his General Electric Co. laboratories at Schnectady. Then Mr. & Mrs. Nicholas Frederic Brady (copper, public utilities) took her in their private railroad car to Henry Ford's party at Dearborn, Mich., for Thomas Alva Edison. John Davison Rockefeller III, four months out of Princeton, pausing in China on his way to the Institute of Pacific Relations at Kyoto, said: "I told father I was due in New York Sunday, Dec. 1, to be ready to begin work...
Forward thinking, even brash in his public policies is General the Honorable James Barry Munnik Hertzog, Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa. A former Boer commander who harried the British long and successfully from 1899 to 1902, General Hertzog only occasionally succumbs to his native Dutch caution, as he did last week upon contemplating the spectacle of stolid South African farmers hastening to buy U.

It was stated that Swedish Match Co. would buy the monopoly by offering the government a loan of 600,000,000 marks (about $144,000,000). Last week despite public opposition Ivar Kreuger made the match, a more clever and less offensive match than had been first suggested. Terms of the new monopoly provided for a continuation of independent operations, but stipulated that Russian products would be barred. The price of matches was increased from 25 pfennigs for ten boxes...
...Well nigh impossible it is to review the many accomplishments of Dr. Welch, to echo the gusto with which he still teaches. Suffice to report that in his doctorate cap and gown he resembles King Henry VIII in jolly mood, that he organized Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health (1918), and now its Department of the History of Medicine and its Medical Library. As last week he walked with the applauding throng of notables,* through the library building, past a bust of himself and into the library's great hall, he paused near an ancient statuette...
