...strongly suspect Secretary Stimson of borrowing his "bathtub" analogy- from Secretary Mellon's experience with the bathtubs of the old Bull Hotel in Cambridge, England. I recently stayed there and largely failed to solve the intricacies of the 18-inch brass and rubber stoppers with the thumb screw attachment in the same three tubs which Mr. Mellon used, and of which the Dull Hotel is justly proud (TIME, Aug. 3). There seems to be no way to manipulate to prevent a slow but steady drain. But the Hull Hotel is one of the best and most comfortable hotels...
...Pearson contributed nothing to TIME. His remarks as President of the National Association of Audubon Societies were simply reported as news. *Last month in London, discussing Germany's credit crisis, Secretary Stimson said: "The situation we are faced with is something like a bathtub.

In Paris he had participated in the preliminaries to the London economic conference which he attended as a delegate (TiME. Aug. 3). He had been to Berlin, met President von Hindenburg and Chancellor Briining, departed advising them to "keep a stiff upper lip." At Rogart in Scotland he had rented a farmhouse on the Duke...
Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson and his aide, Capt. Eugene Regnier, rented a small farmhouse for the balance of August. Ambassador Walter Evans Edge invited a large party to his place in Forfarshire. Ambassador Charles Gates Dawes was invited to the Duke of Montrose's estate, which an engagement with General John Joseph Pershing, also a keen visitor to the moors, prevented his accepting. The General and the Ambassador were inspecting War battlefields...
