They applied what trade restraints they safely could, short of final embargo or tariff boosts which might have driven a desperate Japan to desperate measures-and might have forced the U. S. into war or precipitous retreat...

S. exporters began taking British business right under the cartel's nose, in spite of the tariff of the Ottawa agreements. So a few years ago ?20,000,000 Richard Thomas & Co., Ltd., the No. 1 British iron, sheet and tin-plate producer, decided to modernize.

In nearly every smoke-filled room that nominated a G. O. P. candidate since that day, wise, cold, realistic Mr. Grundy has sat, filling the room with smoke and influence.
