Catalyst in the New Deal's complex rehabilitation formula was the Jones-Costigan Act, which established a quota system for both imports and domestic production. Hardly less important was a reduction in the tariff on Cuban sugar from 2? to nine-tenths of a cent per lb. Net result was a closed system (taking in the U.S., its insular possessions and Cuba), in which AAA could dictate supply, if not demand.

...necessary element in education for modern life, this does not imply that one need have a zealot's interest in test-tubes and formulas, stresses and strains. For those whose passions are not aroused by the precise caress of the scientific goddess, little is gained by the manipulation of complex gadgets in the laboratory. A study of the history and philosophy of science would be for them far more significant...
