...Chicago last week with a row of medals on his chest, Philip Henry Kerr, Marquess of Lothian, British Ambassador to the U. S., faced the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, including bemedaled Charles Gates Dawes, who did tit for tat at the Court of St. James's. Lord Lothian in his matter-of-fact way gave what he called an honest account of what Britons "think and hope and fear" about the war. He told his U. S. audience that the British Government was not "trying to drag you into this war," but that Britain did look forward...
...puny U. S. shipbuilding industry, which employed only 55,000 men (in construction) in 1929, only 65,000 last July. No U. S. industry, big or little, has been so welcome in Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Washington as shipbuilding. None has sucked so well at the public tit. But last week shipbuilding was threatened with political orphanage. For the sea-loving President and his Neutrality Senators appeared to be compromising with land-loving William Borah and his Neutrality Senators on Cash-&-Carry.

...Crony Boyles is more active. The Governor's official legal aide and unofficial Pooh-Bah, he not only dispenses legal advice, but sometimes signs State papers in the Dickinson name.

("I know there...
Notes between the notes: "Doojie-Woogie," Johnny Hodges' latest effort for Vocation, is well worth getting. It has the usual weird alto sax of the leader and some very fine rhythm riffs . . . Mildred Bailey sings a song from the Mikado, "Tit Willow," and despite shrill shricks of horror from the Savoyards, it still is an excellent job . . . Blue Note, a private recording concern of New York City, has just released its third and fourth records, a ten and twelve inch platter of the blues, with such stars as Frankie Newton and Albert Ammons taking part. While the recording wasn...
Under Secretary Hanes's search for revenue is leading him to consider taxing State and local salaries and securities (now tax-exempt). Here he will collide with a host of State and municipal officials, who are unwilling to play Franklin Roosevelt's proposed game of tit-for-tat wherein States would levy income taxes against the salaries of Federal employes. John Hanes's understanding of the scarcity and paucity of new tax avenues, and of the woes of taxpayers-for whom he often personally holds court-makes him a darling of the Garner-Harrison economy bloc...
