...filtered in as monks, townsmen, traders, artisans. They naturally became the manufacturers of the 19th Century Bohemian industrial revolution. Favored by the Habsburg regime, they looked down on their agricultural Czech, Slovak neighbors. In the post-War years, when the Czechs became the top-dogs they turned the national trade to their allies and friends, which dried up Sudeten markets in Austria, Hungary, gradually supplanted German capital with Czech, eased out Sudeten workers, filled Sudeten administrative, police and army posts with Czechs. Although the Sudetens form only 22% of the nation's population, they now make...
...killed and the captain injured. Farther down the coast at Alicante the British freighter St. Winifred and the 5,387-ton ship English Tanker were hit, and the British oil tanker Maryat was destroyed. Although some British captains were reported as ready to give up the lucrative Spanish Leftist trade, in which handsome bonuses for safe deliveries have been handed out, off the ports of Valencia and Alicante numerous ships still waited to unload their cargoes...
...budget ostensibly balanced, but one which does not show its borrowings and its failure to service its sizable debt. Sweden and Finland are the only two nations with orthodox balanced budgets.

Medicine is still a profession. It must never become a business or a trade, never the subservient tool of a governmental bureaucracy...
...Delighted retailers all over the U. S. In 1935 the Federal Trade Commission told a New York jewelry store named L. & C. Mayers Co. to "cease & desist" calling itself a wholesaler when most of its trade was done retail at non-wholesale prices-with people who were misled into thinking they were getting a bargain. Last week the Second Circuit Court upheld the 1935 FTC order. Immediately the National Retail Furniture Association started a drive to eliminate "gyp-wholesaling" in furniture. Perfectly legal, of course, remains the business of genuine wholesalers who occasionally retail goods at wholesale prices...
