...This week the State Department made public a list of 106 registrants, mostly innocuous advertising and publicity agents hired for legitimate trade boosting. Examples: Batten, Barton, Durstine, & Osborn (Dunlop Tires), J. Walter Thompson (Guinness Stout), branch offices of European steamship lines. A Manhattan public relations specialist, Hamilton Wright, reported drawing $2,000 a month from Egypt, $1,000 from Czechoslovakia, $1,250 from Italy (some of his advertising had been placed through a firm in which Presidential Son Elliott had been a partner). Rev. Dr. Alexander Cairns of Bloomfield, N. J. deposed that in seven months he had delivered...
Unknown to itself and to the U. S. public is the real American Federation of Labor. It is a jack of 1,619 trade unions, a many-millioned mass which has virtually no credo because within it is every credo under the U. S. sun. But there are other A. F. of L.s. The one usually labeled in newsprint as "the A. F. of L." is a tight little club of 17 executive councilmen who expound and at intervals alter the otherwise missing credo. Last is the A. F. of L. which goes on show as "the annual convention...
...Kaiser would not sign a treaty giving Britain undisputed naval supremacy over Germany, but the Führer signed (and probably is not stupid enough to break) the treaty under which his navy is restricted to 35% of Mother England's (TIME, June 24, 1935). That was a trade.

The vital lifelines of the British Empire, spanning the globe (see map), are still defended, and will be for years, primarily...
...Gable and Miss Loy, who once again give sterling performances of the devil-may-care variety. This is also because, in its own right, it is an amusing, a genuinely exciting picture. The plot, which concerns an ace newsreel cameraman who can fake the best pictures in the trade, and a round-the-world aviatrix who wishes to hunt for her lost brother in the Amazon, is a convenient frame on which to hang a series of thrilling climaxes. These thrills, which include shots of plane crack-ups, burning ships, and devil-dancing Dukas Indians, are enough to make...
...black-haired Erika Mann, 32, is the oldest and most intrepid of Novelist Thomas Mann's six children. She has traveled round the world, once won an automobile driving contest, driving 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) a day. In her teens she decided not to follow the family trade of writing, instead became an actress under Max Reinhardt. When the Nazis came into power, although no Jewess, she was divorced from her Nazi husband (Gustaf Gründgens, now head of the Berlin State Theatre), and produced a satirical political revue, Peppermill, in Munich, her birthplace. For this piece...
