Britain Moves From Appeasement To No Policy
In Europe, Britain under Chamberlain shifts from appeasement to an empty policy as events from Czechoslovakia to Memel mold a fragile alliance with France. U.S. debates neutrality, defense spending, and fiscal remedies while Congress sees a bipartisan surge for arms and taxes on war profits. Garner emerges as a powerful Democratic force. Dewey rises as a GOP candidacy favorite amid party realignment. No official business will be conducted on the Sabbath in Michigan.

Adventurous Americans and the North Pole Legacy
A 1933 Washington fatality ends Evelyn Baldwin’s century of polar pursuit. Baldwin, who first reached beyond the Arctic circle in 1893 with Peary, proposed the Kane basin route and narrowly missed the pole on later attempts. The piece recounts his explorations, the Andree expedition’s fate, and his final abortive Baldwin Ziegler bid before Peary’s success. It also retells the Bidwell emigrants of 1841, their epic trek to California, and the Pilgrim John Billington’s early missteps, including his execution in Plymouth.
