...Paris one midnight last week a weary little Frenchman, Vincent Auriol, Minister of Finance to Premier Blum, dropped his telephone in its cradle and brought to an end a day-long marathon of transoceanic negotiation. At that moment it was just after 7 p. m. in Washington, D. C. In the U. S. Treasury Department Secretary Henry Morgenthau and a group of weary but pleased advisers also stood around a newly silenced telephone. At 7:30, after he had remained for hours strictly incommunicado, Secretary Morgenthau called for the press...

Last season fashions in autobiography inclined toward the long, earnest, semiphilosophic reminiscence of foreign correspondents, with such works as Vincent Sheean's Personal History, Walter Duranty's I Write as I Please and Negley Farson's The Way of a Transgressor reaching a best-selling popularity. Now the trend seems to be toward candid memoirs by international ladies of fashion who, after long and hectic careers, found much unhappiness with many husbands in many different countries. The first and most scandalous of these books was Elizabeth Drexel Lehr's "King Lehr" and the Gilded Age, followed...
