Angas, a British financial prophet and weather-man who has the interesting habit of producing periodical manifestoes, predicting with unfailing accuracy important pending events in the world of international finance and commerce. He predicted, some months in advance of the actual date, the rubber market collapse of 1926, the English boom in the fall of 1931, and the world-wide rise in the price of gold shares. Now he is again gambling his reputation, this time with a booklet entitled "The Coming American Boom...
