Developing thereafter along conventional lines, Ready, Willing and Able provides a good-humored framework for some smash songs by Johnny Mercer and Richard Whiting, some expert tap dancing by Keeler and Dixon. Nobody in the cast has a reputation that demands dignified behavior, so even the writers seem to be having a marvelous time.

And today the three countries concerned have created vast stabilization funds and propose to use them separately within the vague framework of an informal agreement. With the understanding but a week old, yesterday's news brings report of a disagreement already existing between Great Britain and the United States as to what the parity should be between the dollar and the pound, for, as might be expected, the English bankers...
