Straus on "Fixing." At the Washington hearings, Mr. Percy first asked why the retailers did not submit a simple code which could be put through quickly and which would accomplish precisely what President Roosevelt wanted-raise wages, shorten hours, increase employment.

Neglect of consumers, he warned, was likely to be disastrous. And then Mr. Percy took a look at the disputed Article VIII: "If retail groups can fix prices at ... cost plus 10%," reasoned...

How is one to harmonize the picture of the man who caused the imprisonment of a Spanish commissioner in the common goal, with that of him who played tweedledum to Don Jose Callava...
Hirtenberg near Vienna where they were made (see map p. 15). France and Britain "discovered" that these arms were actually bound for Hungarian troops. They sent a sharp ultimatum to the Dollfuss Government that the arms must be either returned or destroyed, and, moreover, that the Austrian Chancellor must submit a sworn statement from the Austrian customs that the arms had recrossed the frontier, or evidence that they had been destroyed...
