...those who have cried out that the optimism and idealism which once graced this land have vanished into shadowy memories, the farewell declaration of Cord Hull will come as manna in a barren country. On leaving American shores for Uruguay, gem of South America, he stated that "common interests, similar problems, and mutual devotion to the freedom offered by democratic forms of government support us as we approach the problems" of the Pan-American Conference--in short, the old formula which spawns every year a new school of invincible pow-wows...

...Errett Lobban Cord, the young man who is out to become his country's foremost transport tycoon by air, land and sea, last week added one more set-up to his system. Smith Engineering Co. of Cleveland was bought up by Cord Corp. which thereby acquired rights to manufacture Smith controllable pitch propellers. In airplanes, variable pitch propellers are like gear shifts in automobiles, allow engines to run at efficient speed under different load conditions...
