...process by which Harvard came to be such an important adjunct to the existence and happiness of nearby social lights was probably a complicated one, but in the end it all comes down to economics, to the necessarily large import trade in eligible males, drunk or sober. Having suffered the drain of this trade for many years, having been fed off the fat of the filled land, having danced to expensive orchestras night after night, Harvard is still a bit prone to echo ungratefully Adams' sentiments; to decide, in the gray awakening after a champagne coming...
...foreign markets. . . . " This might mean much or little, depending on whether the President-Elect or Col. Grove or some other Chilean becomes the next President.

There will always be a large volume of goods which we must import and we are prepared to give special encouragement to the importation of these goods from countries which agree to grant corresponding advantages to our export trade...
Tied to the U. S. acceptance of this bid was a string: the conference must not discuss Reparations, War Debts or specific tariffs. Left open for debate were such matters as silver (but not its remonetization), trade barriers, embargoes, import and export quotas, international credit and tariff policies. The practical, though remote purpose of the conference was, somehow to set world trade going again...
