...champions of its "death sentence" clause for certain holding companies, took to conference with them PWA Counsel Benjamin Victor Cohen, young Roosevelt legalite and actual co-author of the bill. Twice that fiery little "death sentence" hater, Representative George Huddleston of Alabama, balked at the presence of a Presidential spokesman, broke up the conference by stomping out in the company of two Republican colleagues...
...promise on behalf of the Government," said he, "to give your demands the most earnest study." At this the 50,000 farmers dispersed to their homes but their spokesman declared: "We'll be back soon enough, if Stauning doesn't do what's right!"

Nonetheless a dither of suspicion persisted that Japan's militarists are now definitely Ethiopia-conscious. In Tokyo famed Foreign Office Spokesman Mr. Eiji Amau said: "The Japanese Government is watching the situation with grave concern because the outbreak of war anywhere is a calamity that indirectly injures many countries besides the combatants. I believe the stories that Japanese capitalists have obtained cotton concessions in Ethiopia are unfounded. The story that an Ethiopian prince was seeking to marry a Japanese girl is groundless. We have received no appeals from Ethiopia, we are not engaged in consultations of any kind regarding...
