...delivered to Subscriber Robey and all Pacific Coast subscribers by Saturday. Subscribers will appreciate that getting copies to individual mail addresses takes more time than delivering bundles of magazines direct to newsstands. New printing speed developed by R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co., TIME's printers, and the split-second co-operation of seven potent railroad systems and the U. S. Post Office, will now combine to make weekend reading of TIME possible for subscribers from coast to coast.-ED. Rabbit & Lion...
President Hoover was particularly interested in the reaction to his change of front on Prohibition. His speech evidently split the U. S. Drys, Consolidated.

First reports were that martial law was about to be declared throughout Germany. Correspondents waited but no announcement appeared. Another story was generally...
...Copper Split. The U. S. levy of 4¢ per Ib. on copper makes foreign sales in the U. S. virtually impossible. Hence foreign producers have little inclination to share their markets with U. S. producers through Copper Exporters, Inc. Last week the first tangible evidence of the split was seen when four big foreign producers resigned from the export body. They were: Union Minière du Haut Katanga, Chile Copper, subsidiary of Anaconda; International Nickel Co. of Canada; Cerro de Pasco with prolific mines in Peru. Coppermen thought Copper Exporters would eventually cease to function, that U. S. producers would...
