...Richberg said further: "Clearly the ultimate assurance of a fair price, in a competitive economy, must be found in the preservation of a fair price competition, and in freedom to produce whatever quantity of goods a free market can absorb."

By and large, and in the long run, this takes care of itself, albeit produces much hardship at times. Mr. Richberg's remarks, then...

The diver goes down without an airhose, carries an oxygen bottle, a respirator, caustic soda to absorb carbon dioxide. Aboard the Terminal last week this fantastic diving suit was called "Eleanor...
Early that morning the battered, blackened barge Ready had been towed by the tug Powerful from St. George, Bermuda, to a point eight miles off lovely Nonsuch Island.

The industry liked his tactics so well that last week it was reported that he would resign from NRA to accept an executive position with...
...disagree. It seems to me that modern women who go in for "all phases of life day must necessarily neglect the care of their children and the management of their homes. I think it is no reflection on the feminine mind to assert that it doesn't logically absorb facts about government and economics. If women would spend more time in the study of running a home and less in trying to learn all about world affairs, I think we would have a better country...
