...Government at election time, remains Foreign Secretary, sound Sir Robert was thus given the widest conceivable authority and mobility in conducting British foreign policy. Technically he will still be subordinate to Mr. Eden, advising the Foreign Secretary only on request, but the terms of the new appointment show that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain intends to use Sir Robert much as President Roosevelt uses Ambassador-at-Large Norman Hezekiah Davis, to, handle big diplomatic jobs wherever they crop...
Latest Moscow official figures last week on F. Y. P. No. 2 show that Soviet production of coal, one of industry's most vital factors, was during the first nine months of 1937 not only definitely below the 1937 Plan figure but also below the production figure for the same period in 1936. The same was true of petroleum, copper and machine tools. On the broad economic front Soviet production is rising, as indeed Tsarist industrial production rose spectacularly in the decade before the Revolution, but Soviet fulfillment of the Plans as a "system of planned economy...
...confirmation of newspaper reports the films provided a double check in almost every detail. They show the Panay, loaded with news correspondents, cameramen, embassy attaches evacuated from burning Nanking, being visited, identified by a Japanese patrol launch before the bombing. They enumerate the Panay's many flags-two flying from masts, two stretched horizontally over deck superstructures for identification from...
They attest to a brilliant sun that glinted off the dazzling white of the Panay's squat hull. They show that the attack was methodical, crafty, well-aimed. Because the cameramen (Universal's Norman Alley, Movietone's Eric Mayell) stayed on the Panay to take shots of the wreckage, they missed the machine-gunning from the air of the first boatload of survivors to head for shore, an attack that killed two already wounded seamen. The boat, holes torn in its planking by bullets, was filmed later. Because the cameramen buried their equipment in the mud when...
...bombs landing around the nearby Standard Oil boats, sees a fallen Panay seaman being hauled to a hatchway. Alley's lens catches a Japanese plane diving to attack, while squinting gunners, one trouserless (see cut), try to stem the attack with antiquated 1917 Lewis machine guns. Both cameras show the crew running to emergency posts at the start of the raid, both film the tattered, bloody sailors leaving the ship, peer into the gaping holes in the Panay's armor, sweep over decks strewn with wreckage. Movietone's nine-minute release concentrates on the hardship...
