This article reports on economic and political developments from different parts of the world. With thirty-four Senators lined up in opposition to the U.S. Administration's neutrality program, the prospects for revision of the Neutrality Act remain as obscure as the day Congress opened. Great Britain's decision to extend credits totaling $300,000,000 to its potential allies for the purchase of munitions and other war materials is a canny move. More potent than threats of force is the threat of economic resistance to fascist plans of conquest. Japanese extremists added France to the large and growing list of countries with which Tokyo has become seriously embroiled.
