...House passed 273 to 199 the labor government's so-called Unemployment Insurance Bill (TIME, Nov. 25, et seq.) amid bitter plaints from Clydesiders (see above) who demanded that even bigger doles be handed out to the unemployed...
Reminding its readers that J. P. Morgan & Co. will launch the long awaited German Reparations Bonds, soon after the Young Plan comes into effect (TIME, June 10, et seq.), Tageblatt intimated that should Dillon, Read beat their "rivals" to the Stock Exchange with an $100,000,000 German loan, subsequent Morgan pickings from Reparations Bonds might verge upon the loan.

For years Germans have been hearing...
...proclamation last week which resembled nothing so much as a long shrill "Whew!" The President was voicing his relief at his success as a field-marshal in beating off and vanquishing, at least for a time, the armies of war lords opposed to his regime (TIME, Oct. 14, et seq).

Loud was the outcry of U. S. newspaper publishers when Canadian papermakers, prodded by provincial government officials, announced they would have to charge $5 more than $55.20 per ton (the present price) for newsprint (TIME, Dec. 9 et seq.). The American Newspaper Publishers Association made the threatening gesture of inviting Federal investigation. They also made the conciliatory gesture of inviting a committee of the Newsprint Institute of Canada to meet with them in Manhattan and talk things over. Last week the pulpsters replied: Their minds were made up, they would not go to Manhattan to discuss the matter further...
