Three tentacles of Italian statecraft linked Rome, last week, with the three "B" capitals of Eastern Europe. ¶ "B" stood for Belgrade. There the Jugoslavian Government was reminded of Italian enmity, last week, by tidings that the newspapers of Rome, ever subservient to Dictator Benito Mussolini, were por-tentiously in frenzy over a Jugoslavian pamphlet entitled, What Every Jugoslavian Soldier Ought To Know...
...flight of a young man to Mexico City lost none of its pristine glamour, last week; but from his lone, receding plane the deft hand of U. S. Ambassador Dwight Whitney Morrow conjured an achievement in statecraft. Under his suave persuasion the President of Mexico embarked on a new policy of "peso diplomacy"-a policy which could scarcely have been launched had not Ambassador Morrow given Mexicans the emotional treat of "going Lindbergh...

V. Buzdugan. The choice of Chief Justice Buzdugan was especially shrewd because, if the Regency Act is unconstitutional, as many...
Such is M. Bratiano's outward, dilettante philosophy of life and statecraft. The pose has deceived many. A man with so much leisure for all that art and culture have to give must be, it would seem, extremely lucky to continue strong. In a measure Jon Bratiano has been lucky. He was fortunate, for example, to be born the son of that greater Jon C. Bratiano (1821-91) who freed Rumania from Turkey...
