Every weekday morning at 9:30 Mr. Morgenthau, his Special Assistant Earle Bailie and Jesse Jones confer directly or by telephone to decide the RFC's gold buying price. Every morning at 9:45 that price written in ink upon a mimeographed sheet is handed to newshawks at the Treasury and wired simultaneously to the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Because of its effect on foreign exchange anyone who knew the price in advance would have the opportunity of making large profits. Last week the Treasury was sure that someone did know the price in advance. On one occasion...
...antithesis of his immediate predecessors on the Post, Publisher Stern at least shares with its oldtime Editors Edwin Lawrence Godkin and Oswald Garrison Villard, a ready liberalism and an ink-stained knowledge of how to run a newspaper. A young Philadelphian out of the University of Pennsylvania, he bought the New Brunswick (N. J.) Times for $1,500 in 1911, when he was 25. With it, he promptly began a lively campaign to clean up the municipal government. When he sold the Times to political adversaries he got $25,000. He and his wife bought a car, drove to Springfield...
...California wine growers, New York champagne men, distributors, restaurateurs, hotelmen, bootleggers. There were realtors, hairdressers and elevator boys, all wild-eyed over their ''slices" in this or that liquor syndicate. In London and Glasgow, astute liquor brokers were selling "brands ' on which the printer's ink was still wet. All was hurly-burly in the rush for retail, wholesale and importing licenses and quotas.

...believe many things, but we cannot swallow this story. Carla passionately loves Rudi, who is in the intelligence department of Austria, and she pursues ugly pseudo-Gypsies so that she may give them important messages to take back to dear old Russia. She writes cryptic notes with invisible ink; she is always just about to cross the border; she sees the dirty fingernails of a Russian soldier with black circles on them and immediately recognizes the significance of the circles. Circles, circles, K 14, the sordidness of the filthy madness. Spies are doing their best, and what do they...
...also a spy. When the spies find out about each other it usually produces a sadder situation than the one that arises in this picture. Constance Bennett is operative K-14 of Russia. When she is not warming up scraps of paper to make legible their messages in invisible ink she is lolling crisply in the arms of a Viennese secret agent (Gilbert Roland) and saying in her Parkavian voice how much she loves him. Just when it looks as though Miss Bennett, like Greta Garbo in Mata Hari and Marlene Dietrich in Dishonored, will receive attention from a firing...
