Last week there was jubilation in the city's poorhouses. The Department of Hospitals announced that henceforth paupers will have a choice of nightshirts or pajamas, suits cut like tailors' advertisements and shrink-proof, shoes of 1938; that pauperesses will get flowery percales, felt hats for winter, straws for summer, stockings still cotton but in stylish tan. As a special treat, garters will be issued to both sexes. Reason: the city discovered that the paupers' clothes were so old-fashioned they had to be made to order; it will be cheaper to buy modern clothes from stock...

These deals have ranged over the globe from Iran to Venezuela. Henceforth, there is likely to be an increasing volume in South America, for there the export credit bureaus of Germany and Italy have lately raised havoc with U. S. trade by government-sponsored credit leniency. Thwarting these two dictatorships is close to Franklin Roosevelt's heart (see p. 8) and in this instance it fits perfectly with the bank's purpose.
