...view of Latin-American complications, it seemed to be to U. S. advantage to avoid a final settlement, avoid establishing dangerous precedents that might create trouble in the future.

What we must do . . . to protect our vital interests...
...Successful Retirement." After dodging two attempts to smoke him out by pleading the necessity of secrecy, Prime Minister Chamberlain finally delivered a sketchy "interim" report to a sullen, worried House of Commons.

First woman to head Smith (although it was started in 1875 with money contributed by rich Spinster Sophia Smith), Mrs. Morrow was no illogical choice for the job. She is a Smith alumna ('96), mother of three Smith alumnae (Elisabeth '25; Anne '27; Constance '35), has been a Smith trustee since 1926, helped raise the college's endowment from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 (to which...
