...evidently trying to insert a world program of industrial control, increases in wages and commodity prices similar to its domestic plan. To what level domestic or world prices should be raised, the White House would not say. But at his first postvacation Press conference, the President intimated under his breath that a desirable domestic price level would be that of 1924-25, much to the surprise of observers who understood that 1926, a bit more prosperous, had been picked as the key year...

Pratt, chief of naval operations, rebuked the court for inconsistency in blaming Captain McCord in one breath and excusing him in the next. More significant was a statement by Rear Admiral Ernest J.
