...last week that Mr. Ford has contracted with Isotta to make Ford cars in Italy, at Firso to some extent, from parts shipped from Detroit, later from 100% Italian parts. Since Italy's duty on parts is now much less than on cars, Mr. Ford should be able to worst all U. S. rivals in the Italian market. To complete the Ford-Isotta agreement, Ford's Export Manager Charles E. Sorensen and Sir Percival Perry, general Ford representative throughout Europe, were en route last week to Milan...
Depression: "The world economic crisis is merely the last and worst of the periodic crises inevitable under the capitalist system, whose production invariably outruns the demand every ten years or so because the capitalist producers withhold the profits from the working population and the gradual accumulation of this mass of profit becomes, so to speak, 'frozen' at the end of each period?or is exported?whereas under the Socialist system every cent of 'profit' is returned to the workers, not only in the form of wages but in material and cultural construction. Thus in the Socialist state?in Soviet Russia?...

All day as he goes his rounds he is his own worst case, for he is waiting for a letter which will give the results of an examination on himself, which he thinks will tell him he too is under sentence of death...
Aware is the expedition of the obstacles to such a route, worst of which are on the Canadian side, where perilous Hudson Bay fogs and shifting pack ice beset the air traveler. (No one has ever flown from Greenland across the Davis Strait to Baffin Land.) It is recalled that in 1924 the U. S. Army round-the-world flyers required 19 days to pierce the fogs between Keland and Frederiksdal, on the south coast of Greenland; and that last summer Capt. A. Ahrenberg finally abandoned an attempted Sweden-to-New York flight after taking a month between Sweden...
