Bitterest of all was the Argentine speaker, Dr. Emanuel Malbran, Ambassador to the U. S. He pointed to the importance of Argentina's trade, which in 1929 took 40% of U. S. exports to South America. With chilly sarcasm, he spoke of the possibility that his country will raise a tariff wall: "In case it is adopted it should produce positive results, you would lose a good market. . . . but in exchange you would gain our gratitude for having taught us to make use of high tariffs. . . . It is perfectly logical that in my country they are thinking of following...
...noon, Alfred Emanuel Smith took a party of friends to the top of his Empire State Building (world's tallest). Crowds congregated in Manhattan's Central Park. Militant pacifists under Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise prepared to harangue street gatherings, urge them to beware the blood on the glistening wings overhead.

Facts not brought out in Mr. Grain's half-hearted grand jury investigation of conditions in the market last year: More than 600 fish retailers were forced to pay $35,000 a Year for "protection," otherwise they were not permitted to buy fish. Wholesalers were assessed $82 per year per employe by Joseph S. ("Socks") Lanza, delegate of the fish dealers union, for "insurance...
...decade of intense political conflict in New York. With water power as a prime issue Republicans have wanted to lease State resources on the St. Lawrence for 50 years to private utility companies. Democrats have demanded public development of State property. Time and again this Democratic doctrine helped Alfred Emanuel Smith win the Governorship. Franklin Delano Roosevelt carried it forward as a party policy. Last year Governor Roosevelt secured a truce in the old fight while a special commission of five experts investigated the feasibility of St. Lawrence power developed by the State. In February the Commission brought...
