...difficult to remember any two foregatherings of the nations which are in greater contrast than this present conference and that which has gone down in history as the Dawes Conference. There was politics and to spare in the Plan which was drawn up in 1924, but for sheer horse-trading no meeting of the representatives of the nations in recent years has compared with this...
...good President must have a good Press.-U. S. POLITICAL PROVERBS. A fortnight ago, guests at the White House were Mr. and Mrs. Adolph S. Ochs of Manhattan. While Mrs. Hoover motored Mrs. Ochs around Washington and entertained her (TIME, April 15), President Hoover devoted spare moments to Mr. Ochs, who publishes the august, fatherly (and almost always Democratic) New York Times. President Hoover asked Publisher Ochs this and that about U. S. journalism. After the Ochses had gone, President Hoover wrote a speech.

...resources of $2,100,000,000. Inasmuch as the Guaranty Trust-Bank of Commerce merger (TIME, March 4) had produced a bank with resources of $1,983,597,000, the National City-Farmers' Loan combination could match Guaranty-Commerce dollar for dollar with some $117,000,000 to spare. Even before acquiring Farmers' Loan, the National City had resources of almost $1,900,000,000; added some 220,000,000 with Farmers' Loan. Mr. Mitchell will retire as National City president, to be succeeded by Vice President Gordon S. Rentschler.* But Mr. Mitchell will be board chairman...
