Window panes.
Col. came out noon & left 4pm.
Gimson gave lecture on Trade Unions & Social Legislation in British Colonies. Finney gave a suitable reply in which he said he hoped that before the year was far spent we should all be back on our jobs. ((Probably J Finnie or A H Finnie.)) My job seems likely to fizzle out.
Hitler’s N.Y. speech very enlightening & it gives us great hope for Germany’s early collapse.
