To be sure, it would be possible for any Congress after 1934 to abolish the Federal Reserve system, but what Congress would dare and what President would permit the destruction of a well-tested stabilizer of banking?

...this year to aid French students. These are only samples of the needs that the S. F. F. is trying to meet and can be verified quite easily by any who care to do so. As a visitor, it seems to me that this country affords the greatest opportunity in the world today for the cultivation of international friendships. The method of the S. F.
