Last fortnight in Washington Secretary of State Cordell Hull invited Ambassador Andre Lefebvre de Laboulaye of France to his office. There they signed a document "done in duplicate, in the English and French languages, both authentic." The document was the first commercial treaty between the U. S. and France since 1778. It was also the 13th signed under the Trade Agreements...
...only English and German, managed to evoke such dangerous confidences from the most illiterate classes in Italy, Poland and Czechoslovakia through interpreters.

A 133-page document, crammed with facts, figures and juicy dialog gleaned from SEC's hearings last year, the report dealt only with municipal securities. Other reports on railroad, real estate, industrial and foreign protective committees will soon follow, accompanied by recommendations for regulatory legislation...
