Most frequent criticism of the Trade Agreements Act of 1934, under which Cordell Hull has patiently woven a network of reciprocal trade treaties with 16 foreign countries, is that tariff concessions granted to any signatory country are automatically extended to 70-odd non-signatory countries with which the U. S. has "most-favored-nation" agreements. From the standpoint of Free Trader Hull, this is the strongest point of his policy since generalizing concessions tends to increase the volume of world trade.

S. taste, despite the facts that their branch of the industry is overshadowed by others, and that their business is hazardous, speculative, parochial, regular trade publishers keep the centre of the publishing stage. Although 855 of them scramble for the $70,000,000 annual sales of regular trade publishing, almost half of each year's output of new titles comes from only 18 firms. As the Book Fair opened, these 18 could look back on the biggest publishing year since 1929. Last year produced 8,584 new titles...
