...Baldwin, however, ebb tide seemed overlong. From 1930, its last profitable year, to 1935, the company's annual losses piled up to $19,700,000. In 1935 business began to improve a little, but Baldwin's management, despite the fact that the company still had an apparent surplus of $37,000,000 in assets over liabilities, petitioned for a 776 reorganization. Reason was that Baldwin's $712,000 cash on hand was less than half what would be necessary to meet obligations of $1,438,000 due in 1935. Baldwin's tall, impassive President George Harrison...

...night before I met Commodore MacFarlane, I set sail from what is now the San Francisco Yacht Harbor for Sausalito.

Drifting through the Gate a dense fog came in and I suggested...
Result was a queer, behind-the-scenes friendship struck up between the Mahatma, whose prestige was to ebb slowly away thereafter, and Sir Samuel Hoare, who was to give the 350,000,000 souls of India a new Constitution, the longest measure ever enacted by the Mother of Parliaments (TIME, Aug. 12). In putting through this immensely complicated charter against bitter opposition led by brilliant Winston Churchill and grim Lloyd George, the aim of sagacious Sir Samuel was to make a vast number of decisions as wisely as possible and get them fastened irrevocably upon India, rather than to mull...
...personage, but last week Sir Samuel Hoare made a public speech in which he seemed to become the spokesman of the British Cabinet's foreign policy. It was proper for him to do so, since British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's prestige had last week reached lowest ebb.

Last week First Lord Hoare spoke at Cambridge in these vigorous terms...
