Roots for this last move reach deep into the rich manure of European diplomacy. Abyssinia is perhaps the last independent kingdom in Africa. Ever since the gaudy coronation of kinky-haired Power of Trinity I as Emperor four years ago (TIME, Nov. 10, 1930), the country has been a secret battleground for Europe's colonizing Great Powers. Only port of entry is Djibouti in French Somaliland. Otherwise Italy and Britain hem the country in on all sides. In addition Japanese tycoons who have been dumping cheap cotton goods and manufactures in the country, are negotiating for great tracts of land...

Star Delegates who worked each other up to more and more spacious plans included Editor Samuel Margoshes of Manhattan's Yiddish newsorgan The Day and such eminent Jews escaped from the German Fatherland as Dr. Nahum Goldmann and Georg Bernhard.

To search for the treasure Clarence Saunders gave him $1,500, saw no more...
...student's decisions and the responsibility for his decisions must be entirely his own. The Guide offers no secret or magic formula to a happy choice of courses: it simply rationalizes and canalizes information which was always available but, so far as the individual's sources were concerned, was haphazard and unrepresentative. If the user of the Guide understands this principle, and the further one that his choice of courses must be conditioned by his own idiosyncrasies, we believe that the Guide will have more than justified its existence...
