...Conservative Leader Stanley Baldwin edged over for a tense, whispered conference with Liberal David Lloyd George. If the Welshman agreed to go in with Baldwin, as he did fortnight ago on the picayune messenger boys issue (TIME, Dec. 9), then the MacDonald Cabinet was as good as done. But Mr. Lloyd George is peculiar. Like the Heathen Chinee, he and his Liberals sat impassive, refused to go into either division lobby, abstained from voting. Scowling, the Conservatives followed the Clydesiders; scowling blacker the regular Laborites filed into the Government's lobby. The result looked grave. Scot MacDonald, who weathered...

Other reports convinced Mr. Stimson that Soviet planes were bombing Chinese villages. He meant well, meant to stop any possibility of slaughter. But to Comrade Litvinov, who knew from his direct wire to the peace parley that China was yielding and Russia winning peace on her own terms, the U. S. note seemed at best an intrusion...
...most of it. Stomachs quaked with mirth as he told in droll fashion how Statesman Stimson had called on all the 53 Kellogg Treaty nations to second his note, and concluded amid guffaws: ''I have just received a cablegram saying that Panama-even great Panama-stands with Mr. Stimson...
