Last week the direction of march was reversed. A battalion of Fascist newshawks was marching back to London- not the same men who had been writing vitriolic anti-British stuff until their recall last May, but a new, unsullied group.* Italian newsorgans meantime carried dispatches with London datelines, the first in three months...
...prospector and promoter named Gilbert LaBine, who had started a company called Eldorado Gold Mines Ltd., was driving his dogsled across the frozen surface of Canada's Great Bear Lake, which is cut by the Arctic Circle. He spotted a vein of curious, glossy stuff which looked something like anthracite coal, with gleams of yellow, pink and green, recognized it as pitchblende.

The Great Bear Lake find broke the Belgian monopoly...

His lawyers began a libel suit for $250,000 against Burton Rascoe, author, and Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc., publishers of the book, Before I Forget. Mr. Rascoe, who was writing for the Tribune when Mr. Annenberg was there, remembered in his book a lot of things that had happened...
...storing it away to prevent the normal inflationary effect of such an influx. With recent imports of $5,000,000 a day and a sterile nest egg of $1,145,000,000, Mr. Morgenthau has been kept busy borrowing money to buy more of the wretched stuff...
