Last week a curious deal was reported arranged between Sweden and Germany. Premier Hansson's Government agreed to buy all the arms of Swedish make and pattern which Germany captured in Poland.

Wall Street, long in the dumps (a Stock Exchange seat last week sold at $48,000-lowest since 1918), has to Optimist Pierce and Realist Merrill become a buy again...
