...Nelson Rockefeller and his well-meaning and hard-working young men are at an immediate disadvantage. Whether in the long run the Nazi propaganda will backfire and U.S. propaganda produce sound results, no one could say last week. Most likely result was that Argentina. Brazil and Chile would soon sicken of all propaganda. Some two months ago good-natured Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil quipped to a U.S. visitor: "The next good-will mission that arrives in Rio, Brazil will declare war on the United States...
...took the bonds in lots as small as one each). Last week, after spending two days in Manhattan's swank Plaza hotel oiling and firing the starting gun, Utilityman Bauer was on the way back to his unpretentious home in Pasadena (via New Orleans because over-mountain trips sicken his wife). He was happy. Well over 90% of his bonds are sold; underwriters expect to have empty shelves by week's end. Better still, he had once more outmaneuvered the "Big Five," set a new low level for high-grade utility bonds...
Last week the British in the Athenee Palace were not cheery. They gathered in private rooms or quiet corners and exchanged pessimisms. They said: Doesn't all that heel-clicking sicken you?

The argument is of industrialists v. landed snobs v. common people-over which class shall have the use of the Market Hall. Abetted by a lot of old-fashioned plotting and comic incident and by a drunken representative of Old England At Its Best, the workers win, and every good person gets what he was after. Thus combined, Author Priestley...
...death blow. For years it had fought their fight, played down their financial alley. Foe of the late Governor Floyd B. Olson and his Farmer-Labor Party, it was stanch Republican, anti New Deal. Rich with local department store advertising in the lush 1920s, it began to sicken when Depression I set in. Handsome, silver-haired Publisher Carl Jones (an amateur card-trick expert) shuffled his journalistic cards to no avail. To the Star went his acrid Managing Editor George H. Adams (later to return to his old job on the Journal, see it fold). To the rival Tribune went...
