Equally blank, though the Ambassadors were still at their posts,* stood U. S. relations with Japan. To his press conference Mr. Hull declared that a reply received from Japan, in response to his sharp note of October 6 warning that U. S. trade and other rights in China must be preserved, was "not responsive." Japan had talked vastly and vaguely about a "new situation" in China. As in the case of Germany, there was absolutely nothing the State Department could do except perhaps send another, sharper note, and get back another, vaguer reply. Simple fact of the matter was that...
Inasmuch as the labor law of the land postulates that a boss loves his workers for what he can get out of them, and that they need protection from his exploitation, George F. was distinctly on the spot last week. The Endicott Board of Trade (chamber of commerce) recently announced that since the Wagner Act forbids beloved George F. to speak up against brewing unionism, the businessmen who depend on E. J. pay rolls were going to speak up in his stead. The Board of Trade advised 18,500 E. J. workers to stay...
...normal confusions, stinks and noises of the world's biggest hotel. In the vast Chicago stockyards, a strike of C. I. O. stock handlers left 17,000 cattle and calves, 25,000 hogs, 10,000 sheep without service and the Chicago Livestock Exchange without a place to trade.

The Exchange could do nothing for itself but suspend trading on the market where farmers sell (and brokers buy for packers and butchers) 13.1% of the cattle, 17.5% of the hogs, 5.3% of the calves, 10% of the sheep slaughtered...
...confidence from the Commons after outlining his revised foreign policy as follows. Britain must be prepared to accept almost unlimited extension of Germany's influence in East Europe, Japan's in East Asia. But, just as "there is room both for Germany and ourselves in the trade" with East Europe, there was room for Britain and Japan in China. "China," said the Businessman Prime Minister, "cannot be developed into a real market without the influx of a great deal of capital, and the fact that so much capital is being destroyed during the war means that even more...
...nearer to Russia. From Russia now come most of the arms and experts that Chiang is using against the Japanese. Some of the best of Chiang's troops are the Chinese Communist armies. If China wins the war, hinted Chiang last week, to Russia would naturally fall the trade position in China once held by Britain-unless Britain was soon able to match the U. S. S. R.'s friendly handouts. Britain could help China mightily with loans and shipments of munitions through British Burma, which would bulwark Chiang's southern campaign...
