...Jewish-Communist plot to overthrow the U. S. Government next August by the ingenious means of bringing in 150,000 Communists, mostly ex-Loyalist Spaniards. The importees would seize U. S. arsenals, take over public utilities and transportation facilities. Meanwhile, rich Jewish conspirators would unload their securities, creating financial chaos...
Nevertheless, the price of spot cotton last week was up to 9½?, highest level in nearly two years, and 1½? above the price of cotton for delivery after the new crop starts to move in August.

Empress Nagako gave patriotic Japanese the jitters by producing four daughters before giving birth in 1933 to a son and heir to the world's oldest unbroken dynasty.

The big producers, however, refused to follow, preferring to keep the price split, since the independents do not have the capacity to handle much business. Finally, early in April, American Smelting & Refining cut its product to 10¼?, halfway between the independents and the other big producers, forcing the big producers to follow them down...
