This story was first published in May 1932. Now, there was good reason to think Venus' day was much longer than Earth's and "tide-locked" certainly falls within the allowed range, but aside from Smith and Weinbaum I cannot think of another who had Venus as a tide-locked world. Even Venuses with much longer days than Earth do not come to mind, at least for stories predating the New Solar System.
