Its purpose is to unify activities for promotion of trade, and it will be under the Department of Commerce, of which Herbert Hoover is Secretary. In debate, Representative Black of Texas snorted at the salaries of $10,000 and generous perquisites offered to the advance agents of commerce. Representative Rayburn of Texas countered by citing the rice industry of California as one of thousands of examples of the benefits secured by our foreign trade agents.

And there is every reason why those who are faced with the choice of quarters remote from comfort or remote from college should not choose the latter. Nor is there any just criticism of the Business School for having such unneeded room. The administration of the School has realized that immediate expansion is the poorest method of insuring sane development. And no one can belie the wisdom of that...
