Lessons From Honey Bees For Farmers

Negotiations end 16 year rift with Stalin on US terms
Litvinoff claimed a half hour to seal an accord but talks stretched days. The pact ends a 16 year rift with the Soviet Union, giving the United States most demands while Soviet concessions include no more crowing out of 1918 Siberian expedition claims and guarantees against propaganda. William C Bullitt named first American ambassador to Stalin. Municipal elections show a belligerent mood for change with LaGuardia and a reshaped party landscape in multiple cities. Public power debates unfold with mixed results as housewives influence prices and the economy shows a mixed, improving but uneven picture. The farm sector remains a weak spot.
