...Saturday. He has found trouble throughout the season in organizing a unit under the weight limit which can produce the necessary power, but bases his hopes on the present combination. At present he is undecided as to which of his two strokes, Prince and White, will set the pace in the Henley regatta, and will accordingly take both of them with him when he leaves for the Schuylkill tonight...
...Gandhi-Irwin truce. Last week Bombay despatches reported that Indian merchants are now clearing their shelves of British cloth by "selling it in Persia, Irak and East Africa at less than production costs."

Even so conservative a company as General Electric failed to cover its dividend requirements.

Freely asked was a question which a year ago would have seemed ridiculous: "Will United States Steel maintain its dividend?" Representative earnings statements have included...
