While in London he sought out Robert Spear Hudson, British Government economic expert and Secretary for Overseas Trade. Not a member of the Cabinet, Mr. Hudson nevertheless is one of His Majesty's Ministers. He led a "revolt"' of junior ministers last winter against the Cabinet's dilatory rearmament policy and, although he supported Mr. Chamberlain's appeasement policy last year, it was Mr. Hudson who later dramatically warned Germany that unless the Reich gave up its trading methods, Britain would...
...Wohlthat was said to be impressed with Britain's changed "firm attitude" toward further aggression and to have expressed his fear of war. Secretary Hudson agreed, and then, as one economist to another, expounded the theory that only drastic financial measures could better the situation.

Grand total: $531,120, billed to the seven motormakers for four years' chain-store license fees ($2.50 to $300.50 a store).

...Three U. S. utility magnates, Floyd Carlisle (Niagara Hudson and Consolidated Edison) and Wendell Willkie (Commonwealth & Southern), are lawyers Only C. (for Clarence) E. (for Edward) Groesbeck (Electric Bond & Share) is an operating man, trained climbing poles instead of chasing commas. Hard-boiled Mr. Groesbeck, who goes his own way, is also different in another respect. He figures that the Administration has the money and the power, that there is more percentage in trading with the New Deal than in bucking it. Last week this notion of his began to pay dividends...
