Secret Council. Nothing Adolf Hitler does is ever entirely simple, and last week he complicated his solution of the crisis by creating openly what he called a secret Cabinet Council "for the purpose of advising the Führer in the conduct of foreign policy." Old Baron von Neurath, who had just been kicked out as Foreign Minister, was made the so-called "president" of this council, but into it went also new Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop, Field Marshal Göring, Propaganda Minister Dr. Goebbels, Naval Chief of Staff Admiral-General Erich Raeder and Major General Wilhelm Keitel...
...indulges in other activities for which it receives no stipend: e.g., the annual selection of outstanding films and performances. In this unsubsidized function, the board says what it thinks.

S. participation in the cartel he would try to get the big steel concerns to force the little ones now engaged in foreign dumping to join in the "gentlemen's agreement." Last week the only fact that emerged from a great cloud of secrecy was that the Earl would do his negotiating with the Steel Exporters Association of America, an organization of big steel concerns.

Economists by nature are the worrying type. Malcolm L. Merriam of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce has the job worrying about one of the most vexatious of economic problems -installment selling. If his department is not the nation's greatest authority on installment selling, it has one of the nation's greatest collections of installment selling statistics. Last week the National Retail Dry Goods Association had a convention in the Hotel Pennsylvania in Manhattan. About 5,000 merchants listened without excitement while speakers told them that Federal taxation was oppressive, that labor unions were...
