Next day he was meeting with visiting Latin American foreign ministers, imperturbably puffing his usual Lark.

Not until just before the Labor Day weekend, when Republic Steel dropped word of new prices in steel bars, did the Administration react. Ackley condemned the move, professing a belated astonishment at the fact that higher prices have already been chalked up "for nearly half the steel tonnage produced in this country," and a flock of telegrams urged...
