...Polish Government moved to bar any discussion of Danzig from the League of Nations Council session meeting late this month. The Poles want no mediation at Geneva, either. Danzig affairs are handled at the League by a committee of three: Britain, France and Sweden. The League of Nations High Commissioner for Danzig is Dr. Karl Burckhardt, a Swiss professor of law whom Führer Hitler, in his last speech, called "incidentally a man of extraordinary tact." Dr. Burckhardt's "tact" consists largely of a do-nothing silence. Unlike his predecessor, fiery Sean Lester of Eire, who barked long...

At present Heywood Broun is receiving instruction in Catholic belief from one of the ablest of U. S. priests, Monsignor Fulton John Sheen (who also instructed Convert Mann). Columnist Broun will be received into the Church late this month. Thereafter...
...Characteristically, competing automen disputed Ford's claim for credit in securing the reduction. Meanwhile, large steel orders by the motormakers are probably two months off, for the auto companies have enough steel on hand to last until large scale production begins on 1940 models and want to be sure their big buying is done at the bottom, not on the way down. Aggressive National Steel Co., always up front among the price cutters, admitted that it didn't "know what the price is," was reported taking fill-in business from all comers to be rolled...
