...political parties, the Japanese electorate and the Emperor were immensely relieved, felt that the tide of militarism had at last turned. As always before choosing a new Premier, the Emperor immediately got in touch with 88-year-old Prince Kimmochi Saionji, last of the Genro (elder statesmen) who advised the late great Emperor Meiji. The ancient Prince had the very man groomed for such an emergency - dapper 45-year-old Prince Fumimaro Konoye, president of the House of Peers, an independent, nonparty aristocrat who was nominated for Premier three years ago while he was in New York taking the temperature...
Among U. S. editors and statesmen the prestige of Foreign Affairs, sobersided, grey-backed quarterly, is high. Its circulation is modest (9.500). When Foreign Affairs' thick-thatched, sobersided editor, Hamilton Fish Armstrong, addresses his audience, he does not hope to be heard by the U. S. at large. But sometimes Editor Armstrong has more to say than he can pack into the pages of his quarterly and wants to say it to more than his usual readers. On such occasions his thoughts overflow into a book, the fruit of studious reading, conservatively liberal thinking, alert observations gleaned...
...such manifold and disturbing topics to discuss, one thing is certain; there will be plenty of opinions expressed.

It reminded scarcely anyone that the French statesmen with whom Alexander was friendly were moderate Democrats, men who would have liked to exterminate the Socialist who is Premier of France today. Another card well played last week was for Democrat Benes to tell his hosts that of course Czechoslovakia is overjoyed that Yugoslavia and Italy have buried their...
Yugoslavia is almost the last European state to have no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Yugoslav royalty and statesmen are most inclined to believe reports that Democratic President Benes is reluctantly in very deep with Communist Dictator Stalin and Socialist Premier Blum, and that Soviet war planes already using Czechoslovak landing fields by night as they speed secretly to Spain, might much more easily from these fields attack Germany. Despite such unmentionables as these at the White Castle in Belgrade last week, friendly gestures were for President Benes to decorate Dowager Queen Marie of Yugoslavia, her son King Peter...
