...Siam will be the first country of the Orient to recover from the world-wide Depression," prophesied U. S. Minister to Siam Dr. David E. Kaufman last week in Towanda...
Responding to this long-awaited invitation in the New York County Court House last week, the slick incumbent of "the third biggest job in the U. S." glanced alertly about him to orient friend & foe, shot his broad, lopsided campaign smile, sat down jauntily to defend himself against gravest suspicions of his official conduct.

Dollar's fellow Californian Peter B. Kyne. Outstanding Dollar characteristics...
...Luccock of the Yale Divinity School deploring as "brutal and inhuman" the rise of U. S. Steel Corp. stock upon news of a 15% pay cut (see p. 51). Excerpts: "Every day that passes makes it more clear that there is nothing more futile than sending out to the Orient a religion which is not transforming the pagan forces which are so largely ruling here in America. The kind of a pagan world we live in is clearly pictured in the movement of the Stock Exchange quotations on Friday of last week. The headlines . . . tell the brutal and inhuman story...
