...Vienna museum. Said Mr. Rose: "The money that I have made has come from the public. If my collection grows important enough to warrant turning it over to the public after my death, I think that would be the logical thing to do. I believe that anyone with ready cash may have unusual opportunities during the next few years to acquire important paintings." Reason: only foreign exchange (preeminently dollars) can now get pictures out of Europe. The Germans, having sold a great deal from the public and private collections of greater Germany, are believed ready to dump looted pictures from...
...House has not been very busy since war began. Dealings are for cash only; short sales are virtually eliminated; volume is 12 to 15% of pre-war levels. In Shorters Court, the dingy yard where 400 yelling traders often moiled till 10 p.m., there is now no trading at all, for "Yankees" (U. S. securities) formerly traded there are all Government-held.

After the ripening comes the moon of the harvest, when the Chippewas gather the rice just as they did when the exploring Franciscan, Father Louis Hennepin, first saw them...
...Nazi Germany. All were agreed that the New York Herald Tribune's three-week-old revelation of the connection between Rieber and Hitler's cumbersome ambassador-off-the-record to U. S. businessmen, Dr. Gerhardt Alois Westrick (TIME, Aug. 12), threatened to hit Texas Corp. in the cash register. Those who knew Cap Rieber were sure he was no pro-Nazi, although he had been keen to do business with Germany before the war. But they also felt his indiscretions and bad handling of the press had stirred prejudice and hysteria against him. Their explanation of the scandal...
