...Ethiopian "Deal" by Sir Samuel Hoare (TIME, Dec. 30, 1935 et ante). Sparks flew in Downing Street last week with two "emergency meetings" of His Majesty's Government within 48 hours, and by the time Mr. & Mrs. Baldwin left to weekend in the country with the King & Queen, the more combustible Fleet Street newsorgans were in decorous conflagration. Blazed the London Sunday Referee: "Mr. Baldwin believes that, if the present situation is allowed to continue, it will lead inevitably to European...
...really meant business. Admiralty orders to British warships were couched in terms which might mean anything. The effect of these orders is to bring about 200,000 tons of British war boats into waters near Gibraltar, ostensibly "on their way" past Gibraltar steaming to distant ports. The flagship Queen Elizabeth (33,000 tons) carried Admiral Sir Alfred Dudley Pound from Malta to Gibraltar last week and is scheduled to steam back this week to Malta.

Like all Germans, the two princesses who got through to The Netherlands were forbidden to take out of their country more than 10 marks ($4.02). They were promptly supplied with pocket money by Queen Wilhelmina, and Her Majesty, with motherly solicitude, saw to it that all twelve bridesmaids were supplied with special, quick-action woolen underdrawers. These garments were ingeniously arranged so that the bridesmaids, without disturbing their dresses, could slip on their woollies underneath for the cold, draughty drive in royal coaches, slip...
...last moment, Prince Friedrich zu Wied, an ardent German Nazi who was to have acted as one of the bridegroom's witnesses, failed to come to The Hague, giving the excuse of "illness" which was known to be a fib. This so incensed Queen Wilhelmina that Her Majesty named to act as a witness in his place Professor Jan Huizinga, a Dutch writer of tart anti-Nazi tracts, under whom the Crown Princess once studied history. German correspondents who had come to cover the wedding promptly left The Hague in a huff, all except...
