...play's message began to wear off, simply because Mr. Blitzstein had cried "wolf" too often. The music was occasionally too loud, and the articulation not always clear. But these were only minor defects in a well-molded whole for which Directors Bernstein and Szathmary deserve considerable credit Miss. Mann's singing of "Nickel under the Foot" was delightful, the acting of Donald Davidson and Kendall Smith quite professional. By and large "The Cradle Will Rock" was an impressive example of modern folk opera. The special performance this week deserves to be as weld-received...

Last week, M. Reynaud proudly claimed credit because production had increased 12%; the excess of savings deposits over withdrawals was $113,446,500; and, most important, France's gold supply had mounted from 55,808,000,000 to 87,266,000,000 francs.

...last October,-price cutting spread. Some steel prices dropped as much as $11 a ton or up to 20%. Characteristically, competing automen disputed Ford's claim for credit in securing the reduction. Meanwhile, large steel orders by the motormakers are probably two months off, for the auto companies have enough steel on hand to last until large scale production begins on 1940 models and want to be sure their big buying is done at the bottom, not on the way down. Aggressive National Steel Co., always up front among the price cutters, admitted that it didn't "know...
