...tars, gross fellows all, lay bets upon his enterprise. This plot is a simple one, and it is thematically unvaried throughout. If you are looking for an evening of good 100 per cent American smut, this is it. There's no nastiness in it; the only cloud in the welkin of direct and open-faced lechery is the obnoxious Senor Gomez, whom the play-wright gives no shrift...
Author Sayre's Rackety Rax got a good press and went to Hollywood; Hizzoner the Mayor deserves an even better fate. Riotously jovial satire, it sets ringing no tocsin of reform but the welkin echoes its topical tintinnabulations.

Japanese Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara filled the diplomatic welkin with notes and explanations repeating his familiar points: 1) Japan again demanded that the Chinese Government (although cut off by Japanese bombing from Manchuria) should put an instant stop to anti-Japanese propaganda in Manchuria and to boycotting by Chinese of Japanese goods in Manchuria and elsewhere in China; 2) the Baron repeated...
Even amid frenzied electoral strife last week, the Chilean Government lent friendly ears to U. S. Ambassador William Smith Culbertson. While the welkin rang with anti-U. S. slogans, he signed with Chilean Foreign Minister Luis Izquierdo an agreement, retroactive to May 22 last, which lowers Chilean tariffs clapped on imports from the U. S. at that time, means that Chile grants the U. S. "most favored nation status...
