...exports of woolens only 1% annually for the next three years. Even that limit may not be reached, because the pact also contains strict item-by-item regulation of 18 specific categories of products; it allows the Japanese almost no freedom to switch shipments from a slowly selling fabric to one which suddenly becomes in great demand...
...Synods (literally, "meetings") of churchmen have been a part of the ecclesiastical fabric since the earliest days of Christianity.
