...Santos three of the crew deserted and the Algic went on to Victoria, Brazil, without them. Denied shore-leave, four more men went over the side in the darkness, attempted to row to shore in a clumsy native dugout, capsized it within 150 feet, drowned Able Seaman Howell Gill of Savannah, Ga. On the return trip the Algic again put in at Jacksonville and there Stormy Petrel J. Hartley deserted and escaped. Last week the Algic docked in Baltimore, its 13,000 harassed miles the subject of a brief inquiry by the Bureau of Marine Inspection & Navigation. A three...
There are, to be sure, some very effective bits. The discussion of taking gold out of a hole in Brazil and putting it into a hole in Kentucky, and the wild attempts to assign a purpose to the operation, are rather trenchant, and the song "Off the Record" is a very clever assortment of Presidential confessions. Taylor Holmes, besides giving an excellent performance as Secretary of the Treasury, does as especially good job of singing "A Baby Bond." Even the songs, however, are not up to expectation, the only really tuneful one being "Have You Met Miss Jones?" In short...

Famed Literary Hoaxer Joan Lowell (Cradle of the Deep) started back to Manhattan after spending 20 months in a jungle hideout 30 miles from Santos, Brazil. When Miss Lowell sailed for Brazil she said she intended to become a Brazilian citizen. She built herself a brick house on a beach clearing backed by jungle, had herself appointed district nurse. One of her accomplishments was installing, as a sanitary measure, cement floors in the thatched-roof huts of the natives. In Rio de Janeiro, Hoaxmistress Lowell said she ministered so well to the natives they named her "Donna Joan, the Miracle...
Typical of Dr. Schacht's adroit manipulation is Germany's coffee trade with Brazil. Germany barters finished goods in exchange for Brazil's coffee beans. The beans, canned in Germany, are resold to small Central European countries for exchange and at lower prices than Brazil demands. This maneuver involves heavy losses to Germany and damages Brazil's market. But it puts much-needed foreign exchange into Dr. Schacht's hands, and incidentally increases the impressiveness of Germany's export trade...
