...Hitler, returning to Berlin from his parley, with President von Hindenburg, banged his big desk for the benefit of a British correspondent and shouted: "At the risk of appearing to talk nonsense I tell you that the Nazi movement will go on for 1,000 years! . . .

Son of a French civil servant, he went to Indo-China at 20. made an archaeological expedition to Cambodia and Siam, was not only an eyewitness of some of China's bloodiest revolutionary years...
...clear up back dividends and meet the Illinois law, Mr. Lee proposed to exchange one share of new $6 preferred for each share of old $7 preferred, throwing in two shares of new common as a bonus to help stockholders forget back dividends. Mr. Lee also sweetened his new preferred by making it convertible into six shares of common. Old Class A stockholders would get new common, share for share, and each share of Class B would be exchanged for one-half a share of new common. By assigning the new common a par value of only...
