The U.S. State Department was still on the record with its cold comment on the Czecho-Russian treaty; the unofficial explanation was still that the agreement did not fit the U.S. concept of "overall security."

And the peripatetic Ford account, for which J.W.T. hastily divested itself of its small slice of Chrysler business, moved over for a very significant reason: J.W.T.'s worldwide agency setup...
