...looks as though the struggle goes on for at least another half-year. In the opposing lineups the Theatre Workshop seems to rate the edge for a power struggle. The Veterans outnumber the HDC in total active membership and particularly in the number of stellar performers they seem able to attract. They also seem to have a consistent monopoly on ambition, with their tackling of the scenic and casting problems of "Joan" and "Henry" as opposed to the Dramatic Club's sketchy "Lefty" and proposed bare-stage production of "Enemy of the People." On the other side of the line...
Canada cast up its accounts for half a year's trade with the U.S. and the figures were shocking. June shipments of $175 million had boosted the half-year import total to $981 million. Against this, Canada had sold only $482 million worth of goods to the U.S. The staggering adverse balance of almost half a billion in U.S. dollars made a big dent in the Dominion's war-hoarded reserves, even though hard-pressed Britain helped out by paying Canada in U.S. dollars for $220 million worth of food.

...days of June had come a tremendous spurt in U.S. shipping to the hunger areas-some 477,000 long tons of grain and grain products. By June's end the half-year goal of 6,000,000 long tons was in sight. The U.S. was actually short on deliveries by about one-twelfth, but this deficit was already in the pipelines...
...Steel, which had a bad fourth quarter last year, made a lusty comeback, reporting a net profit of $32,382,533 for the first six months compared to last year's $31,086,053. But it did this by shipping more steel than in any first half-year in its history. Bethlehem Steel kept pace with Big Steel, netting $13,166,381 v. $12,842,000. But the smallish Pittsburgh Steel Co. provided the market-shocker. Its fat profit of $1,021,524 of last year turned into a dismal loss of $72,901 this year...
