...alive to the clamor in Europe for "Trade, not Aid," has offered a bill to extend the law for an interim year while a commission studies the entire trade problem.

Pounds for Sale. Britain's action was welcomed more for its intentions than its actuality. Chancellor Butler raised from 44% to 58% the proportion of British imports freed from government restriction. This compares with a 75% trade "liberalization" expected of solvent nations by OEEC, and the 99% free trade permitted by Italy.

In the still are hundreds of gallons of a solvent liquid with which the bile acid goes through its first reaction in its long, tedious process toward cortisone. Within hours this reaction is complete and a precipitant is added, causing Intermediate Compound No. 1 to separate from the solution as a white powder...
