...great government corporations will be set up almost exactly like the Soviet trusts of Russia : a State Industrial Corporation, a State Foreign Trading Corporation, a State Mixing Corporation, Transport, Construction and Agriculture Corporations. To finance and get them into operation $160,000,000 was raised by forcing the central bank to buy an issue of treasury bonds. All six corporations are intended to win Chile's business from the hands of U. S., German and British firms, but unlike Soviet Russia there will be no direct confiscation...
...walls prevent such a course. In any case, according to the American theory, every yard of cloth or ton of steel imported means a lowering of the standard of living.

Most ambitious air transport system in the U. S. is Pan American Airways. Between it and the major domestic airlines, all of which are Pan American shareholders, is a tacit agreement that Pan American shall operate outside the U.

He married Inez Tiedeman, daughter of a Savannah capitalist, who bore him a handsome row of six children. He lives at swanky Grosse Point Farms, plays among the sea islands of Georgia...
Pilots of transport planes work with two kinds of audible radio signals: continuous flashes of the radio beacon marking the course, and occasional spoken words from ground stations. Heretofore a complete receiving set was required for each purpose. Last week after months of work by Radio Engineers F. E. Gray and A. W. Parkes, Eastern Air Transport announced development (with Aircraft Radio Corp.) of a dual coil attachment by which one receiver can do all the work. As installed on E. A. T.'s Condors, the device reduces radio weight from 110 lb. to 80 lb., eliminates $550 worth...
