With a Heil-dominated, Republican Board of Regents almost a certainty, Wisconsin wondered last week how soon, if at all, the Governor would carry out his threat. President Dykstra is popular, has won public confidence as a good educator and administrator. Even the bulk of the Republican legislative majority opposes the president's removal, but the Governor could wait until the Legislature adjourns and then do as he pleased. Day after the Assembly passed the bill, the Governor conferred for an hour with ousted President Glenn Frank, who flatly assured a reporter: "Let me say, once...
...implied threat in Secretary Hull's treaty abrogation is an embargo on shipment of war materials to Japan when six months notice is up and possibly penalty duties on Japanese goods. Cutting off U.S. scrap would put a serious crimp in Japan's manufacture of guns and other weapons. With very little scrap iron available outside of the U.S., Japan would have to buy expensive iron and steel or iron ore. For her other U.S.-supplied war materials (oil and gasoline, pig iron, copper, machinery and engines, autos, trucks and parts) Japan could go elsewhere...
Last week the price of wheat dropped on the Liverpool exchange to the lowest figure on record. At 47¼? it slipped under the 50? record set during the hard times of Queen Elizabeth in 1592. Not the threat of man's destruction in war, but proof of nature's productivity, left Liverpool traders aghast: from Bulgaria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Poland, Rumania, the U. S. came reports of above-average crops. All told, world wheat production for 1939 was estimated at 3,995,000,000 bushels, exclusive of Russia and China, world consumption at about...
...nearly 500, but beside some of the earlier paper triumphs this was scarcely worth mentioning. The Japanese have learned that the more smashing victories they claim the rougher the Russians play. While Soviet bombers continued their out-of-bounds forays, nothing more was heard of the Japanese threat to carry the war into Siberia if the bombing of Manchukuoan towns was not stopped. Despite repeated reports of imminent annihilation, Soviet Mongols were still on the "wrong" side of the Khalka River, and the Japanese were "reluctant" to dislodge them. Manchukuoan Government-controlled newspapers hinted that if the Soviet Union...
...That year James W. Marshall, a wheelwright, discovered gold in the tailrace of James Augustus Suiter's sawmill at Coloma. Twenty-one years later San Francisco had shot up to a polyglot giant of 149,473 inhabitants, a challenger of New York's financial might, a cultural threat to Boston. That year San Francisco went on a three-day spree. Officially it celebrated completion of the transcontinental railroad-"Uncle Sam's Waistband-He would burst without it." Historically it celebrated the end of a unique frontier society, an equally unique frontier literature...
