...delegated his authority to the Crown Prince as Regent in November, 1921. Following this conference, Baron Tanaka, (the author of the alleged memorial) is declared to have been sent to Europe and America "to ascertain secretly the attitude of important statesmen" toward the Nine-Power Treaty. The last visit of Baron Tanaka to Europe and America occurred in 1913-1914. It is unnecessary to belabor this analysis, have taken only the first three pages, but it is possible to continue for page after page, pointing out contradictions and inaccuracies. That an official document, presented to the Emperor, should have been...
...House of Steel has many mansions. In & out of it at No. 71 Broadway pass hundreds of executives of the 200 far-flung companies which constitute U. S. Steel Corp.

The doctor need not decide whether to charge his patient nothing to $25 for an office visit, nothing to $10,000 for an operation. When a patient gets into a "fixed fee" hospital he knows beforehand that he will pay about what Manhattan's Sydenham Hospital last week announced it would charge...
...history-making steps in foreign relations, and the appearance of the more thoroughly digested accounts for which one must wait considerable time. With headlines succeeding one another in a rapid course of attractive, yet often superficial heights, a Hoover Moratorium, an Anschluss, the fall of the pound, a visit of Grandi or of Laval, soon are forgotten by a large number of those who constitute public opinion; others who still remember these events in 1931 may nevertheless find in 'World Affairs' clear expositions of what actually happened. The book is primarily an enlarged summary, and the writers make no attempt...
