...again President Roosevelt's quiet little Ambassador-at-Large Norman H. Davis busied himself in London and in Paris last week with clearing up the "misunderstandings" created when the President, as Europeans think, "wrecked the World Economic Conference" by refusing to stabilize the dollar (TIME, July 10 et seq.). In London Mr. Davis called on Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald who was still snorting over what he considered the President's omission to act in currency matters along the line privately agreed upon when Scot MacDonald visited the White House (TIME, May 8). If the Geneva Disarmament Conference...
...named "Sleepless Hollow." His motorboat, which is very fast and makes terrifying turns when the owner is at the wheel, is called "The Four Hawaiians," but Mr. Cook has not mentioned the celebrated and inimitable Hawaiians on the stage since the Massie Case (TIME, Dec. 28, 1931 et seq.}. Majordomo at Lake Hopatcong is Ellis Rowlands, a Welsh ex-actor still shaken by his experience in the Black Watch during the War. It is Rowlands, wearing footman's livery, who meets you at the door when you go to see Mr. Cook. Rowlands takes your hat and coat...
First big strike of the NRA occurred last July in the same Pennsylvania coal fields (TIME, Aug. 7 et seq.). Starting in Fayette County, 50,000 miners walked out in protest against the operators' refusal to recognize John Llewellyn Lewis' United Mine Workers. Riot, bloodshed and death preceded Governor Pinchot's declaration of martial law and his dispatch of guardsmen. A temporary peace was patched up when President Roosevelt sent Deputy Administrator McGrady into the coal fields as his personal emissary to promise the strikers a square deal under NRA. With mining resumed, coal code negotiations...
...days with considerable justice. The framework for an international agreement to cut wheat production for two years by 15% in each of the great exporting countries-Canada, U. S., Australia, Argentina-had been drawn up early in the summer by U. S. Delegate Henry Morgenthau (TIME, July 3 et seq.). Now the wheat importing nations seemed to be doing everything possible to wreck it by insisting on their rights to maintain quota restrictions and subsidies for their farmers. Suddenly came the miracle. An international conference actually agreed to do something, accomplished something, was ready to sign something, all within five...
When President Hamilton Holt of Rollins College (Winter Park, Fla.) ousted Professor John Andrew Rice last spring as a too-outspoken individualist (TIME, June 19 et seq.), he split his college into two angry factions, a large pro and a small anti. Out of the Rollins rumpus last week emerged a jump college. The antis clung together, their number increased to nine (out of a faculty of 45) by dismissals and resignations after the college year ended. They looked for financial backing and a place to settle. They found both. The site is a religious conference centre complete with buildings...
