...Sold 3,000,000 bushels of wheat to Mexico under the export subsidy plan, Mexico will pay for the wheat with proceeds of its export tax on the silver its mines sell to the U.S. The U.S. Government thus pays the Mexican piper both ways-taking one loss by selling the wheat at less than the market price, taking another by buying the silver at an artificially pegged price...
...Wall Street men take time to talk about the weather, but one morning last week a group sat in an office where Wall Street meets the East River and talked of little else. The occasion: a demonstration of the weather charting system which American Export Line expects to use when and if its subsidiary, American Export Air Lines, Inc., starts flying the Atlantic. Along one wall stood a huge map of the North Atlantic. Dotting the 3,445-mile course from Manhattan to Lisbon via the Azores were India-ink silhouettes of 14 ships, nine American Exporters, five Fascist...
...Manhattan's good, grey Weather Chief Dr. James H. Kimball, the man who has kept a weather eye out for all transatlantic flying since Lindbergh: "In transatlantic flying there has never been as complete weather information available as that available here today." This was the cue for American Export Air Lines' energetic, Pan American-trained Vice President James Murchie Eaton to announce a new transatlantic air partnership-American Export Air Lines and Italy's Ala Littoria. There to confirm this news was suave Colonel Carlo Pezzani, adviser to the Balbo flight five years ago, now Ala Littoria...
Next April, with American Export flying a 15-ton Consolidated flying boat and the Italians a new Cant-Trieste seaplane, the two lines will start four months of survey flying along their joint line. Hoping for eventual Civil Aeronautics Authority sanction, the new partners are planning 60-to-70 passenger sleeper ships to be built in both countries from jointly drawn specifications...
...three major U. S. crops are in trouble. Wheat, with a near-record crop of 940,000,000 bushels and a whopping 300.000,000 bushel carryover in prospect for next year, has stumbled to 50? a bushel on the farm (against $1.25 in 1936). A plan to subsidize export of 100,000,000 bushels has been so snagged by record surpluses abroad that only 10,000,000 bushels had been moved out by last week. AAA estimated that this year's corn crop was not so large that compulsory marketing quotas need be applied, but corn last week sold...
