...tell the world that His Majesty was willing to settle on terms only slightly more generous to Ethiopia than those offered by The Deal of Hoare & Laval. He was willing to yield a great chunk of his empire in exchange for peace and a corridor to the Red Sea. The resignation of Sir Samuel Hoare and the tribulations of Premier Laval last week caused the Imperial Businessman to propose a completely New Deal. Ethiopia's new "basis for discussion," with which the Man of the Year masterfully closed 1935, are that: 1) Mussolini's forces are to withdraw...
...legal limitations on truck lengths. Short trucks are also easier to maneuver in cramped quarters, and Autocars are a favorite with coal dealers. Autocar has paid no dividend on its common stock since 1921, though in the War boom it once paid $10 in one year including a $1 "Red Cross" special. Sales have dropped about 50% since 1929 when the company took in $15,600,000, kept $854,000 as profit. Deficits have since been the rule but the company is thoroughly solvent...
Head of Mack since 1916 has been Alfred J. Brosseau, a Shakespeare student who sometimes makes his lunch on a large red apple and six glasses of water. He built up Mack's commanding position in the heavy-duty field, is official spokesman for the truckmakers as head of the Automobile Manufacturers Association's truck division.

White's Black has not lifted the company out of the red, but he is on record with the prediction that White's 1936 production will top the Wartime record by 10,000 units. One of the ablest merchandisers in the industry, he is credited with having boosted White's morale to a new peak...
...Roger Williams and 14 Revolutionary ancestors; her grandfather was a pioneer on the Northwest coast of which she writes. But her violent Marxian melodrama will never be recommended by the Daughters of the American Revolution. (The one Daughter in the book is a throwback, impoverished into sympathy for her Red neighbors.) Marching! Marching! obeys the law of Marxian fiction in having no hero but half-a-dozen protagonists, each symbolizing some aspect of the proletarian struggle. In spite of her ancestry and her creed, Clara Weatherwax writes first-rate, first-hand U.S. prose that will remind more than one reader...
