...dweller of the eight acres of stone where more good things have been said, and more windy platitudes expounded, than anywhere else on earth-with the possible exceptions of the ancient Roman and present U. S. Senates. Even his greatest admirers admit that he has said more than his share of both. As First Lord of Admiralty he sat on the Government benches on the hushed night of Aug. 3, 1914. Out of the Government after the failure of the Dardanelles campaign that he initiated, he was back in the House as M.P. for Dundee, attending the secret sessions...
Poland for months has been lambasted daily by radio from Germany, but the broadcasts reach comparatively few Polish ears. Despite a money-making radio monopoly, Polskie Radio, in which the Government has a 40% share, Poland is not a radio-minded country. Of the estimated 1,000,000-odd-listeners to the eight-station network headed by Warsaw's SPI, perhaps one-fourth still get what they can on ancient crystal sets. Last week Polskie Radio talked bravely on, reported border incidents and the repulsing of Nazi sorties by air, played stirring martial airs between bulletins...
...Meanwhile, Esquire was having its own troubles. By last June its advertising guarantee had been cut to 450,000 and Esquire had trouble meeting that. Dave Smart and his brother Alfred had sold $1,400,000 of their stock and the stock had dropped from $16 to $4 a share...

Buttressed against wartime demands for working capital, it had $5,768,158 cash, 31% more than last summer...
...Manhattan candy-&-restaurant chain. It lent Loft some $600,000. It also dug into its strongbox for collateral on which Loft borrowed another $400,000 in bank loans, further backed up by Phoenix' endorsement. For such help in a crisis Phoenix got options on 300,000 shares of Loft at $1.50, on 200,000 shares additional at $2. But since Loft had lost money every year since 1934 this did not look like too promising an investment. Last year Loft stock got down to 75½ a share and its operating loss was $946,151. Meanwhile, with...
