...inaccurate to speak of Mr. Filene as the founder of the Credit Union Movement. Other Big Boston Businessmen were equally influential and unsparing of time and money in pushing the Credit Union cause ahead, particularly Felix Vorenberg and Pierre...
Felix Vorenberg, another successful Boston merchant (perhaps not quite so rich), and Pierre Jay, then State Bank Commissioner, were both liberal enough to have sensed the potential value of Credit Unions for working people as far back as 1909, which was before Mr. Filene had become fully aware of the future possibilities of "talking liberally" about them. Had it not been for these pioneering crusaders, Massachusetts might never have had a Credit Union Law and Mr. Filene and his associates might not have had the cornerstone on which to build the National Credit Union Movement...
...dusty. She was Erica Darbo, the Scandinavian soprano whose U. S. debut set Cincinnati agog last February in Strauss' Salome, rehearsing for her first New York appearance. The night of the performance, in costume and against a background of stars and sultry violet, Miss Darbo gained full credit for the force and fury of her acting, but New Yorkers were not impressed with her wiry, imperfect voice, scarcely at its best in the open air.

The neighboring Dominican Republic which also received ministrations from the U. S. Marines, has kept up on interests but is behind on sinking fund payments. In national credit standing Argentina...
This ceremonial visit served as an excellent curtain for a tremendous amount of dickering with European bigwigs. Swinging through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Italy, France and Belgium, Dr. Kung was everywhere given the sort of excessively cordial reception he loves. This was because China's credit is better now than it has been for years and because Europe, notably Germany, desperately needs a market for exports. China's credit is currently high because Dr. Kung has begun to make good on a number of defaulted foreign loans, promises to take care of them all. Hitler, Göring...
