When Publisher Lawson died in 1925, his wife's nephew Walter Strong and 36 associates bought the paper (against 23 bidders) for $13,500,000. It was recapitalized for $19,000,000. The new $13,000,000 plant, built over the C. & N. W. railway tracks, which it now occupies was leased for 20 years at a yearly rental of $450,000. To earn 5% on its debt, and meet sinking funds and amortization charges, the paper should earn at least $1,450,000 a year. Last...

Four months ago a $60,000,000 international loan, engineered by Morgan, was offered to Royalist Spain to bolster the peseta. The House of Morgan underwrote part of the German Government 5½s in 1930. But in all the conferences, statements, interviews about Germany...
