Professor Taussig makes some very interesting observations in the current number of Foreign Affairs on the subject of increased tariff schedules. In the same magazine the Harvard economist is vigorously supported in his contention that the new high rates will react unfavorably to the United States.

When Author Connolly's mother returned home late one afternoon last week both her sons were missing, but a note identical with the last written lines of The Marble Coffin, was conspicuously present. Hastily...
...trembling so much, I'm afraid they must have thought I was trying to do the shimmy, before I'd even thought about it. But after the first minute or so, everything went wonderful and I seemed to have the audience right with me. They never fail to react when I give them that old Black Bottom or some of the rest of my stuff...
