Secretary Morgenthau announced the United States would stop purchasing Mexican silver until further notice, seen as a response to Mexico's expropriation of foreign oil properties. The halt follows a policy strain with Hall calling it a blow to good neighbor efforts, while the Treasury had been buying about 5 million ounces monthly at roughly 2.5 million dollars, supporting the New York price.

Baseball Miracle in swap of first basemen
Joe Cronin, a baseball student, notes a smart inside deal swapping Zeke Bonura to the Washington Senators for Joe Kuhel to the Chicago White Sox. Cronin argues Kuhel will hit over .300 for Sox and drive in runs, while Bonura should flourish against left-handed pitchers with Washington. The trade is framed as mutually advantageous for both clubs and praised as smart.

Britain Ready to Fight for Honor and Peace
Prime Minister Chamberlain told the House of Commons Britain will honor its treaty obligations to France and Belgium and may go to war if Germany aggresses, though the aim remains peace. He rejected Soviet calls for consultation and warned of possible war if aggression occurs in central Europe. Wheat Crop Estimates forecast a 430 million bushel U S crop, 160 million above the 1932 36 average, with 300 million bushels carryover. If planted as projected and yields hold, spring wheat plus durum reach about 200 million, winter crop about 630 million, totaling ~830 million bushels.
