Last year, during Professor Williams' absence in Geneva as one of the American experts to the World Economic Conference, Professor Josef Schumpeter, former Minister of Austrian finance, initiated 300 wrapt listeners into the theory of deposit creation and retirement and the higher...
...dangers. He fears that the minimum wages in the codes will become maximum wages, that Labor will find itself organized into unions under a Fascist state.

It goes back 20 of his 37 years to the time his rich father, the late Henry Pomeroy Davison, avid angler and huntsman, returned from...
