...commercial flyer generally earns about $9,000 a year-$2,500 to $3,000 as his base pay, plus $5 for every hour of day flying. $10 for every hour of night flying. To the individual flyer, $9,000 is no great income. But to the operating companies the salary item in the aggregate is enormous. The companies, as they became efficient business organizations, wanted to regularize their salaries, reduce them. None dared until last week. Then Curtiss-Wright Flying Service, which operates two score flying fields in all parts of the U. S., pioneered. The new Curtiss-Wright pay...
...Dawes Plan was a great advance over previous discussions of Reparations because it was based upon a sounder psychology: it took it for granted that Germany was honest and was willing to pay what was possible, and that the Allies were not bent on crushing Germany permanently both economically and politically. The Dawes Plan also recognized the difficulty of making the transfer of such vast payments across the German frontier. The transfer was no longer a duty of the German Government but of the Agent General for Reparations at Berlin. If he found it impossible to transfer Reparation payments from...

But for the last twenty years she has always had a surplus of imports over exports. It will be impossible for her sufficiently to change her balance of trade to meet interest charges...

When this happens the Allied Powers are likely to raise objections to making further payments on their war debts to the United States for they would seem to be paying the running expenses of the United States instead of helping her to pay off Liberty Loans. Finally, the United States tariff policy, and the inevitable economic laws relating to international trade may make our worthy Senators and statesmen realize the futility...
...present in view of the fact that marines are there now and should remain until 1936. As to the methods used to obtain control, there is sharper criticism, for until American plans were carried out funds were held up and the Haitian Government was left without means to pay salaries. The National Assembly, which refused to adopt a new constitution favorable to the Americans, was dissolved, and has never met since. A new constitution, granting the right to foreigners to hold property and containing various other features favorable to a continuance of American control, was drawn up and submitted...
