...weaken about their U. S. tour after their first telephone conversation with Charles Bedaux. Next day, they decided to go ahead with it anyway. Day before the Bremen - chosen for the voyage because, unlike American and French liners, she does not call at ports in England - was to sail, the Windsors lunched at the British Embassy, went back to the Hotel Meurice to finish packing their 20 trunks and 50 suitcases. Late that afternoon, the Windsor Housing Tour of the U. S. reached its final anticlimax. This was a statement issued by the Duke's equerry, Sir Dudley Forwood...
...ropes were cast off. The traditional sailing hour of the ship, 11 a. m.. passed into afternoon before puzzled passengers were told that "departure had been delayed" until 4 p. m., then 6:15 p. m. Mystified, passengers watched 99 of the 206 crew, mostly Chinese, their belongings on their backs, shuffle off the ship, followed by manicurist, barber and orchestra.

To meet the threat of a 16,000,000-bale cotton crop, which knocked the price from 15? to 8? per lb., the New Deal broke out a well-worn storm sail in the form of loans to cotton growers (TIME, Aug. 23). Hastily arranged just before Congress adjourned, the cotton-loan program was financed by Jesse Jones's RFC through the Commodity Credit Corp...
Last week it soon became apparent that a second jury sail would be broken out: that corn loans would be granted, though not at 60? per bu. Secretary Wallace discreetly observed that if figured in the same relation to so-called "parity prices" as cotton, the corn loans would be about 46? per bu. Only problem was to find the money-a problem complicated by President Roosevelt's announced determination to balance the budget (see p. 17). After a huddle with the President and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, Mr. Wallace declared with engaging vagueness: "Money undoubtedly...
