...sources of his information, then, in accordance with the so-called ethics of that so-called profession, he will decline to say where he got his information and I, for one, would enforce the proceedings against him that are appropriate for a contempt of the Senate. ...

Fortnight ago ex-King Amanullah grunted and sweated on a Kandahar platform doing a cloak & box trick to show his people that he was worthy to be their King (TIME, May 27). News from India last week indicated how vain were Amanullah's grunts. Frightened by reports of what Bacha Sakao, the usurping bandit-King, was doing to rebels-firing them from cannon, killing them on the streets- Amanullah's followers continued to desert him in a steady stream.

It is one of 16 local Canadian clubs, whose members have flown approximately 10,000 hours since 1927, when the Canadian Department of National Defence first started to foster them.

...Significance. By the unhappiness of Hans and Frau Grill, Novelist Edouard attempts to show the end of every peasant-noble union. Too good a psychologist, however, to prevent their becoming live individuals instead of idea-puppets, he succeeds in showing only that the couple were incompatible at times when many another husband or wife would have unearthed the remedy. He also shows how new people, people of money and power, took the place of the old nobility in his country. The social lesson is thus outmoded. If the author were to have lectured in the U.
