Thus pressure on the franc last week was "psychological, not actual," in the opinion of foreign exchange experts. They pointed to the success of new Premier Flandin in winning huge votes of confidence from Chamber and Senate on a program of rock-ribbed gold standardism (seep. 21). The gold cover behind French currency stood at over 80%. Even so, psychological pressure was great. After-effects of the French crisis fortnight ago kept the currencies of four gold bloc countries (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland) fractionally below the gold export point all week.

Some physicians think there is a long chance of saving Benjamin Hendrick, whose back, thighs...
...probability neither Paraguay nor Bolivia think that the Chaco is worth the battle that is being waged for it. The reason for its continuance is to be found, I think, in the vague rumors that seep out of both countries about popular discontent with the governments. Obviously, if the rabble are occupied in the jingoistic activities that accompany a war, their rulers will feel relatively safe. Consequently, the Chaco is an ideal place to wage such a war, for defeat and loss of such a God-forsaken region can have no very serious results for either country...
