...with the way neighbors borrow and swap, you do us a sorry injustice by limiting our readers to the total number of our weekly circulation. More accurate would be 17,000,000 weekly copies; 85,000,000 smalltown, rural and homesick metropolitan readers. For ours is no subway sedative completing its life-cycle from press to ashcan within two hours...
Main question taken up last week in the arms debate in Commons was whether or not to double the Government's total borrowing allowance for rearmament from $2,000,000,000 to $4,000,000,000. (Of this year's contemplated armament appropriation, $1,150,000,000 will be paid for by taxation, $1,750,000,000 by borrowing. Probably no higher British income taxes will be imposed.) Bigger borrowing won 432-to-5, the five dissenters being confirmed pacifists...
...strike, no daily newspaper has been published in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., a coal-mining and silk-weaving city whose retail stores serve about 300,000 persons.

(Total circulation of the dormant evening News, Times-Leader and morning Record: 73,000.) Smaller stores have combined to publish a 24-page tabloid "Buyers Guide" with about 53.000 circulation, which also takes paid classified ads. By agreement, no local merchant is advertising in Scranton and other out-of-town newspapers...
Harvard led momentarily at 7 to 6, but they were then blanked for six minutes as the Morningsiders ran their total up to 21. From then on baskets were traded almost evenly until the end of the half, when Columbia...
...overlooked, however, is the fact that foreign trade is a give-&-take affair. Last week, for example, a spokesman for the new German-American Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Coast pointed out that German purchases of U. S. dried prunes and apricots had dwindled from 33% of the total exported in 1929 to 8.8% in 1937. And the lard dickerings demonstrated how U. S. farmers are suffering from the drop in German trade. In pre-Hitler years Germany often bought as much as 30%, of U. S. lard exports; last year Germany bought only 7%-and last week...
