...Danish press acted as though the Arctic Council were the Norwegian Government, treated its recommendations as at least semiofficial. This was natural. The Arctic Council enjoys Norwegian Government support. Danes were entitled to think that Norway was about to move upon East Greenland in some way. Danes, the ebullient "Frenchmen of Scandinavia," were thus entitled to auger...
...annual invitation tournament; and at Washington, D. C., where a young U. S. Davis Cup team (Sidney Wood, Francis Shields, Clifford Sutter) speedily eliminated Argentina 3 to 0 from the final round of the American Zone Davis Cup matches. In the quarter-finals of the Paris tournament were three Frenchmen, an Italian, a Japanese, an Irishman and two Americans.

The vote of confidence in the Chamber was public, the vote for the President secret. Briand could not hold his 'friends'." This personal factor must be given due weight. But larger reasons...
...five rooms and hallway that constitute the Museum of Modern Art in the Heckscher Building, Manhattan, last week hung the best collection of modern painting yet seen there-woodcuts and paintings by Gauguin, several vivid Cezannes, a Seurat seascape, a colorful Degas, splendid examples of Frenchmen Monet, Renoir, Redon, Daumier, Picasso, Matisse, Guys and of U. S. Artists Davies, Charles and Maurice Prendergast, Dougherty, Kuhn. More newsworthy than the exhibition's quality, however, was the fact that these paintings were now the Museum's property.
