Progress at the World Monetary & Economic Conference began in London last week with loud wincing from Chief U. S. Delegate Cordell Hull. "Everything I do is misconstrued these days!" he wailed, then rang down a quick curtain on the comedy of contradictions in which U. S.

After a few weeks there the President would return to Hyde Park for the balance of the summer. ¶ The rafters of the Washington Auditorium rang with applause one night last week as President Roosevelt appeared to address the U. S. Chamber of Commerce in convention assembled. A businessman's brief talk to businessmen was the President's speech (see p. 41). His prime request: "I ask you to refrain from further reduction...

They took the front doors off their hinges to prevent efforts to close the church, refused to let priests from nearby St. Paul's hold masses, listened to an all-day entertainment by a 20-piece band, rang the church bell for seven hours, broke...
