...Smoking." The Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin could not retreat from London, but he retreated as far as he could into homely reticence and obfuscation at No. 10 Downing St. With the peace of Europe at stake, according to all the newspapers Squire Baldwin does not read, attendance by the Prime Minister as the League Council convened in Queen Anne's Room at St. James's Palace would have been in accord with British tradition. He stayed home...

These had not yet been asked by the Belgians and the French, for M. Flandin had based his whole policy last week on patience, asking his British friends to read what they had signed.

Bespectacled Emperor Hirohito, the earnest young Son of Heaven, had enough resignations to read last week to give His Majesty eyestrain - 500 in all. His personal military aide-de-camp, famed General Shigeru Honjo, who commanded the Japanese Kwantung Army which swarmed up to seize Manchuria in 1931, resigned last week. So did six lieutenant generals, five major generals, five corps commanders, bevies of War Ministry bureau chiefs and slews of Japanese officers of all the higher ranks.* Thus the Army continued its "expiation" for the Army assassinations of Japanese liberal statesmen (TIME, March 16).
