...intend to continue doing it. If we make any mistakes wait until the return of better times and then, if you want to, give us hell individually. . . ." Charles Gates Dawes is credited with being the shrewdest exponent of studied indiscretion since Theodore Roosevelt. Political observers were stirred by his sudden, profanely popular outburst about the "masses"-not as an object for specific relief (Candidate Roosevelt's thesis) but as a national barometer more important than Wall Street and business tycoons- to fresh speculation as to what, if anything, the G. 0. P. might do for or with Charles Gates...
Peace & Pigs! The surprise of the "Surprise Conference" proved to be that there was no Stimson-MacDonald-Tardieu-Bruning-Grandi conference last week, the whole thing turning into a somewhat comic false alarm. Premier Tardieu's sudden dash turned out to be the result of a misunderstanding which led the Frenchman to think that Britain and the U.

Without her sudden, impulsive gift of $485,000 (par) last year the British Air Ministry could not have entered and won the final Schneider Trophy Races (TIME, Sept. 14, 1931, et seq.). Last week Dame ("Fanny") Lucy was at it again. She astounded Chancellor of the Exchequer Arthur Neville Chamberlain by offering a gift of $756,000 "to keep the flag flying and help the Army, Navy and Air Force in their dire need and necessity...
...beaten track. Then there was Gabriel Faure, the French man who transmitted his fragile, elusive style to the more popular Maurice Ravel. Every song had its mood subtly, surely conveyed. Toward the end a ghoulish piece by Modernist Alban Berg (Wozzeck) was done so effectively that a sudden wail which came from the audience struck people at first as an overtone which be longed there. But it was a listener taken with a fit of epilepsy...
