Only in isolated instances since large-scale corporate financing was resumed early in 1935 has this happened. In each of the five preceding months refunding ran ahead of new capital, leaving figures for the first half of 1937 in the same relationship ($932,000,000 of refunding, $795,000,000 of new capital).

They had six tons of fuel, enough for 8,000 miles of flying. After taxiing more than a mile, the plane took off through a thin fog. Near the North Pole they encountered thick fog, flew blind for a long stretch, but passed the Soviet polar base 13 min. ahead of schedule, making...
...white ripple. The torpedoes missed by a hair. When an oily patch showed where the submarine had been, the five-inch guns on the Baton Rouge stopped firing. The captain's big grin marked the hits. Occasionally they picked up a few survivors from a torpedoed boat ahead. Armed guard duty, which consisted of operating a gun aboard the freighters themselves, was the riskiest job of all.
