...broth of truth, something like this remained: The Japanese were greatly impressed by Ambassador Grew's speech. The Government wanted to do something about it at once. But the Army (which usually prevails) wanted first to install Puppet-elect Wang Ching-wei in China-accomplish the New Order, and then discuss it. Every Ambassador pays a routine call on a new Foreign Minister; hence last week's conversation. The talk was entirely friendly, and there was no threat. But Ambassador Grew again made clear the nature of U. S. complaints and the temper of the U. S. public...
...train 12,000 pilots, Canada will need 1,500 ships over & above Britain's war needs. Her infant air industry, though encouraged by a $10,000,000 "educational" order from the mother country last year, is by no means equipped to supply such a quantity. Last week the Empire Training Planners waited only the embargo-lifting vote by Congress to place $100,000,000 worth of orders in the U. S., for 600 light trainers, 900 fighters and bombers. Of this cost, Britain will pay half, Canada onequarter, Australia and New Zealand one-eighth each...
...words had scarcely left the Democratic Boss's mouth before the Federal District Court came, for the first time, to the railroads' aid.

Too late to save bankrupt Jersey Central, the order was not too late to apply to the nine roads' 1939 tax bill...
Green's journal is an anthology of the things which an intelligence of a high order has seen, heard, talked of, cared for, feared, felt, thought, during the past ten years. There is an obsession, as readers of his novels would expect, with death; a strong interest in the "macabre" (a word he nowhere uses); a pervasive fear of war, of revolution, of the end of civilization; the constant meditation of a devout man who has abandoned formal religion. There are "portraits" of Gide, Stein, Cocteau; excellent observations on painting, sculpture, music, films, above all on writing...
...tying for first place in the first annual Heptagonal meet, the Crimson gained half of a leg on the Junius T. Auerbach Memorial Trophy. Yale with 76 points, Princeton with 87, Dartmouth with 94, and Penn with 134 trailed in that order, as Columbia failed to finish a team...
