...turn of events, hinted at other reasons in addition to the pinched economic situation: 1) Recent restoration to power of aristocratic army leaders who, dreading Japanese adoption of Western ways, have from the start opposed the meet and its concurrent influx of Occidentals; 2) Fear of "losing face" in view of the threatened boycott of the Games by Great Britain, Switzerland, the Scandinavian countries, and probably others. Tokyo said it might ask for the Games...
Aside from extending for two more years the International Wheat Agreement (drawn up in 1933 to limit wheat production and export), the 25 delegates from 16 nations* did nothing last week except view the outlook with much alarm. Conference experts figured that the world harvest, excluding the Soviet Union, China and Manchukuo, would total 4,205,000,000 bu., 216,000,000 bu. above the all-time record set in 1928.

...limp, a prim precise Londoner married her big sister, but Julie's fear of the world was harder to get rid of. In Julie, Francis Stuart traces the process in a straightforward book that is notable for its characterization of a 15-year-old girl, especially notable in view of the books by Author Stuart that have preceded it. He won critical acclaim with The Colored Dome and Pigeon Irish-imaginative, poetical, mystical novels in which metaphors skyrocketed and prose flickered so brightly that characters and plot were hard to make out. Julie is plain as an old shoe...
