S. business could go along without changing; 35.3% thought reorganization could be confined to foreign trade; only 14.1% thought U.

Viruses are measured in several different ways. One is to strain a substance known to contain a virus (like sap from a diseased plant) through a filter with pores of submicroscopic size. The smallest virus, that of foot-and-mouth disease, is ten-millionths of a millimeter in diameter...
Last week the U. S. Treasury issued a breakdown of income-tax returns for the depression year 1938. Set against the returns for previous years, they all but completed the pattern of a decade's economic change...
