Disturbed because neighboring Costa Rica suddenly abandoned plans to ratify a pact settling a long-disputed 150-mile border between the two States, Panama's President, Dr. Juan Demostenes Arosemena, last week signed a hurriedly drafted bill providing $1,000,000 for national defense. Hitherto, defense has been an unknown item in Panama's budget.

Critics these days are inclined to credit Adolf Hitler with intense political intelligence, but to a big majority of the world's artists he remains a fool as well as a nuisance. Hitherto, Hitler has contented himself mainly with declaring what bad art is, has attacked all more or less experimental modern art as "Jewish" and "Bolshevist." Last year he opened a hall of "degenerate" art in Munich which proved a great success (TIME, Aug. 2, 1937). At Nürnberg last month...
