Around the Soviet embassy Japanese police set a close guard, arrested Japanese interpreters, Japanese language teachers and other Japanese employes on suspicion of espionage, opened parcels.

It has caught and will spread like wild-fire through the summer mouths, fanned constantly by the bellows of such outstanding political Hamlets as Hoover, Landon, Knox and Borah; never forgetting the large and well paid machines behind these personalities. Economy will, in short, probably have more to do with the election of the next President than any other single issue. Whatever the result may be, the unloading of such unfinished and dead cargo as the Florida ship-canal and the Passamaquoddy project...
