The effects of Goody's undercutting made the reduction necessary, according to one of the officials of McKenna. Harvard Square is only one of many areas that has been hit by the price...
...check for $200, which I would be pleased for you to forward to the proper quarters. I would like to make it quite clear that the movement proposed by me should in no way be construed as an attempt to whitewash Hungary. Its only meaning is to enable Uncle Sam to write off this bad-smelling item in his books . . . PAUL DE GYARMATHY Stateless ex-Hungarian Kobe, Japan...
