Besides putting the bothersome question of Justice Hugo Black out of the headlines, he had provided himself with an active-peace issue which promised to remain popular unless it threatened to involve the U. S. in war. Meantime he kept the nation guessing whether...
...President had gone a long way toward stinging these mutually friendly Fascist powers into a hard triumvirate. Probably prematurely, Japan's news agency Domei announced that at a call by the Italian Ambassador upon Japan's Foreign Office assurances were given of "Italy's sympathy and support in Japan's 'self-defense' campaign in China...
