...Seventh Assembly of the League of Nations convened at Geneva last week and voted Germany within the League, but not until the minor nations concerned had protested the steam roller tactics of the great powers. The delegates continued amicably-minded while they elected Foreign Minister Nintchitch of Jugoslavia President of the Assembly but contention ensued thereafter. When Vice President Motta of Switzerland arose and moved the program, adopted by the League Council (TIME, Sept. 13), for the admission of Germany to the League, the resentment of the minor nations became sharply crystallized...
...last week, many a mine owner let it lie negligently for a moment beside his plate. Perhaps it might contain a new outburst against the miners by half bald and otherwise red-headed Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill.

Hester Prynne and Rev. Arthur Dimmesdale break the seventh commandment. The heavy rod of seventeenth century New England righteousness falls upon them both -upon Hester socially, upon Dimmesdale spiritually. In spite of numerous opportunities for sentimental errata, the film records truly, as the novelist saw, the inevitably tragic and ennobling consequences of their suffering. One might wish that the bravery and sacrifice of the Puritan community had been represented...
