...lands (newer economically) of Latin America and the Far East. This demand is steadily making the Latin Americans and the Asiatics richer and more avid of the good things of life, of the comforts so many of which we can supply so readily and profitably. Consequently, every acceleration of European demand for the raw materials, exotic fruits, luxuries, and semiluxuries, produced by these far-off lands, will react directly upon the latter's buying power and desire for American specialities...

Nearly all the European delegates looked tired as spaniels. Distinguished M. Delacroix affects smartly upturned moustaches. Now they drooped. As he disrobed, the onetime Prime Minister of Belgium and the only original member of the Reparations Commission who remained a member last week sighed to Mme Delacroix, "Hélas, I am not so young...
