...recent trip into the northern portion of Baja California our little 1927 Model A Ford scraped crankcase and differential many a time as we chugged along at the good rate of 10-15 miles per hour, What good would the 90-mile-per-hour potentialities of the new, low streamliners have done us here? In this long stretch of uninhabited desert with no water, gas or oil for 135 miles, how much of a handicap would have been ours in one of the 1935 model automobiles, whose low-slung bodies, according to one advertisement, "make entrance and exit very easy...

If the Supreme Court upheld the gold clause, it might mean that perhaps $100,000,000,000 of bonds and contracts dated prior to June 1933 would have to be paid at the rate of $1.69 for every $1 borrowed. To most debtors such an added burden would prove disastrous.
