...Only a few months ago in Manhattan, Laborite Lombardo had professed himself certain that the Government of which his 1,000,000 workers are a keystone would never dream of bartering its oil with dictatorships. However, none of the delegates from the 13 Central and South American States represented* rose to embarrass Host Lombardo on this point nor did any of the big three "fraternal delegates" present: French Trade Union Tsar Léon Jouhaux, whose dues-paying followers number 5,000,000; the Minister of Justice of Leftist Spain, famed Ramón Gonz...

...prices but not severely, and volume of selling was light. Demand deposits in Federal Reserve Member banks were near the peak set at the end of 1936 but the turnover (ratio of checks drawn to deposits) was at low ebb, 11% under the norm for 1935~37. Power output rose to a new 1938 high, General Motors recalled 24,000 men to its Flint plants, and department-store sales all over the nation were off only 3% from the same week a year ago as compared to 14% fortnight ago.

Carloadings fortnight ago rose to 620,511, some 20% under a year ago, yet a new high for 1938. But signs of increasing revenue-like hopes for lower wage costs (see above)-are only details in the sorry railroad picture; last week bonded indebtedness still cast its shadow. Prime example of a railroad staggering under top-heavy debts is 111-year-old Baltimore & Ohio, fifth largest U. S. railroad (in revenue). The line has some $685,000,000 in fixed indebtedness, on which it has had to pay over $31,000,000 in interest annually. B. & O. lost...
