Axis diplomats in Washington were a downcast crew. The U.S. could not let them leave until U.S. diplomats in Axis lands could leave too. Likelihood was that Ambassador Grew and his staff would get out of Japan by way of Russia and Alaska. But meantime Ambassadors were a drug on the market. In Washington the German diplomats bought trunks; the Japanese sent out for food, were no longer trusted by their grocer, and had to pass the hat to pay for it. They sat around the Embassy drinking whiskey gloomily. Their American chauffeur, driving out for the last time...
...pointed out for years, there is little that is equal in the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness between the worlds of upper and lower Park Avenue. Now, with a war for the preservation of this nonexistent concept on the nation's threshold, there is every likelihood that the long-awaited extension of democracy will come with the battles. If our guess is not wrong, in other words, there will be no "bloated rich" after...

There was little likelihood that the small plants, employing not more than 3,000 workers, would dare to vote against C.I.O. The huge C.I.O., with jurisdiction over 85,000 workers at River Rouge and 3,000 at Lincoln, could and doubtless would boycott parts made in the 14 "feeder" plants. But there were some 29,000 other Ford employes in other parts of the U.S. If, after the election, A.F. of L. felt it had strength enough, it would probably demand elections in those outlying plants. Ford might face a labor squabble after all -one of the very things...
...Japan is cautious, even for a jackal, as the western powers might have discovered ten years ago. There was little likelihood that she would spring while long-range Soviet bombers remained within hopping distance of Tokyo, while an estimated 175 Soviet submarines lurked beneath the waters of Vladivostok and nearby harbors. Last week some of these submarines maneuvered close to Vladivostok, where even a nearsighted Japanese spy could see them...
