Poker-faced, Diplomat Murray heard the unhappy oilmen out. After they left he dashed to Secretary Hull, who suggested that Standard Oil return at 3 p. m. Sharp at 3, the oilmen and Diplomat Murray were closeted with stiff, didactic Dr. Stanley Hornbeck, Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs. Dr. Hornbeck soon went downstairs to tell Secretary Hull that Standard Oil had arrived, the actual introduction of Messrs. Walden & Dundas being made by Near East Chief Murray...
Wily Greek. League of Nations activity began to stir when British League of Nations Minister Anthony Eden motored from Geneva over to Aix-les-Bains in France for dinner with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.

Scare heads in London papers suggested that, for all anybody knew, tons...
...past four years Mr. Churchill has been slashing his own political throat, leading a series of vain attacks on Conservative Leader Stanley Baldwin in an effort to split the party on the India Constitution Bill (TIME, Feb. 9, 1931 et scq.). This Gargantuan measure now having been passed, ''Winnie" Churchill last week abruptly returned to the Baldwin fold, pledged ''whole hearted" support to the Government and strove to bandage his self-inflicted political wounds by the clarion announcement: "Dangers larger and nearer than Indian dangers gather on our path. . . .
