...alleged-nobody could find out for certain-that Mr. Cole left data to prove that General de la Huerta was preparing an attack on President Calles who was certain to be overthrown during the next few months. Documents were also laid before the U. S. President containing evidence of a number of outrages inflicted upon Americans by President Calles' "Red" Government, thereby inferring that a Huerta victory would be well merited and to the interest...
...Grain Marketing Co. was favored by a huge rise in wheat prices during its incumbency. Yet it failed to remove speculation from grain trading, as some had claimed it would, and also failed to prove any very profitable enterprise from a commercial standpoint. The only value in the experiment of letting farmer-representatives try their hand at running the terminal elevator business, apparently, has been to prove to them that it is not quite so simple as they had thought. Now, perhaps, individual companies in this field will be less hampered than formerly by legislation passed in the supposed interests...

...much less profitable year to wheat growers than 1924. Yet a mammoth corn crop is now apparently under way, and also a cotton crop of unusual magnitude. From the standpoint of domestic conditions, corn is our most important crop. Cotton is a good export crop, and lower prices should prove of considerable international significance-particularly to England, whose cotton industry has long been depressed by high raw cotton prices.

Then the British reduction of rubber output began to prove effective. Stocks of rubber in London warehouses have fallen from 52,000 tons in April, 1924, to about 5,000 tons today. Crude rubber has risen to 85c a pound-the highest price since 1917, and a rise of 68c (or 300%) in one year. America's millions of car owners are not smiling at Mr. Firestone's prophecies any more. They are thinking of higher tire prices in the future. Tire makers are already raising prices...
