Princeton's project is to bring theory and reality into conjunction by dealing with such problems as the collection of international debts, American foreign trade expansion, international tariff, and the need of a world-wide system of currency. Such a proposition lends impetus to the already popular theory of solving world problems through the medium of economics in that it proposes to educate many young men to make practical use of the theories of international business...

For $10,000 he successfully out-lobbied the Walsh Senate resolution for investigating interstate public utilities, transforming it into a toothless inquiry by the Federal Trade Commission.

Granted that the British taxpayer is paying $1,250,000,000 a year, the French $800,000,000, and the German only $600,000,000, even so, said Dr. Schacht, it is paradoxically true that Germany is the most heavily taxed country of all. Reason: while the Briton's and the Frenchman's tax money...
Perhaps inspired by the investment trust activities of their potent fellow citizen, Arthur Cutten of the Board of Trade, a group of Chicago capitalists organized, and last week announced, Chicago Corp., a $60,000,000 midwest investment trust. The directorate of the new corporation is of the top stratum of Chicago's financial world. Packers are represented by Edward F. Swift, vice president of Swift & Co., and F. Edson White, president of Armour & Co. Merchants include George B. Everitt, president of Montgomery Ward and James Simpson, president of Marshall Field. The present Marshall Field conducts the investment house, Field...
