There is a promise of topical trippery when Don Ameche and Cesar Romero set off across the Atlantic in a plane loaded with a buoying cargo of ping-pong balls (a device actually adopted by Crooner Harry Richman & Aeronaut Dick Merrill; TIME, Sept. 14, 1936, et seq.). And there is a promise of native warmth when the plane plops down in the midst of peasant festivities in a Norse village. But neither promise is kept. Just as soon as they artfully can, the script writers haul the characters back to the familiar Manhattan night-club surroundings, and thenceforth the picture...
...Hankow, the Chinese de facto capital, last week appeared Miss Agnes Smedley, a U. S. author who was first widely heard of during the kidnapping of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (TIME, Jan. 4, 1937 et seq.). At that time when the Communists needed someone to broadcast their propaganda in English from Sian, she was put on the air. Fond of dressing like a Red Army soldier with red, five-pointed star in cap, Agnes Smedley announced last week that she had hurt her back, therefore would write a book on the Chinese Communists instead of marching further with them against...
Thus Yugoslavia served notice that she no longer considers France, still nominally her ally, "dominant" in the Danube basin. The recent tour of Danube states and Poland by French Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos (TIME, Dec. 20, et seq.) was followed immediately by the setting up in Rumania of a pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic regime unfriendly to France. When Premier Stoyadinovich sounded off, the Delbos journey appeared to have been almost a total loss. However, M. Delbos' worries were at the moment closer home. His Government had fallen...
Marquess of Londonderry, who last autumn persuaded the Prime Minister to send another of their group, Lord Halifax, to talk Rapprochement directly with Adolf Hitler (TIME, Nov. 29, et seq.). How far this attitude of the Times had gone was pointed up last week when London's liberal New Statesman and Nation intimated that it had caught the Times off base...
Stalin, when drafting the new Soviet Constitution (TIME, June 15, 1936 et seq.), made it possible for any legally registered society to nominate candidates for office, forgetting or ignoring the fact that there are 30,000 such religious groups in Russia today. When Christians entered the campaign, Stalin was reminded. He promptly put a stop to it. With refreshed memory he last week acted to crush Christian presumption...
