...return to the days when we habitually shipped out much more than we received? Intelligent readers desiring light on the facts as impartially and expertly thrown as we can humanly expect, would do well to explore the contents of Foreign Policy Reports (nongovernmental, non-business), published twice a month by Foreign Policy Association. Inc., No. 8 West 40th Street, New York City. Am re-reading that of May 15, 1936, on the U. S. Balance of International Payments. Like TIME, it is clear, curt, complete; essential reading for the alert citizen who wants to know the facts. The boost...
After departing Ambassador Davies, the Dictator cast assertion that "America is invaded with Japanese spies and Japan with American spies! . . .

...their addiction. Last week, while the Red Wings were playing the Canadiens, two other series of Stanley Cup playoff games were going on elsewhere. In one, the New York Rangers, who finished third in the American division, beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, who finished third in the International division, twice in succession.

Aurora Bridge over Lake Union at Seattle. Going off the 185-ft. San Francisco-Oakland Bridge was Wood's 185th high bridge dive. Had it been successful he hoped for a permit to dive...
There are twice as many hotels (about 13,000) in the U. S. as there are hospitals. But hospitals have just as many beds (1,000,000). Hotels take in $1,000,000,000 each year. For hospitals there are no comparable figures, because practically all are operated at a loss which neither their directors, trustees nor owners like to make public. On the other hand, they are frank in revealing their facilities for treating patients and teaching personnel. Statistics on those activities an American Medical Association committee headed by Stanford University's President Ray Lyman Wilbur fully reported...
