Justice Means Cash In Havana Courts
Havana editors refuse to report bribery cases, arguing justice costs money. The Souza bribery charge is downplayed despite marked money and a detective overhearing talks. The Custom House fraud case faces a similar bleak outlook as officials expect lenient outcomes. Captain Pitcher’s limited powers provide some foreigner protection but little else.

Berlin Stock Flurry Raises Fear of American Iron Competition
Berlin June 10 Last week proved the worst for the Bourse in twenty years as iron and coal shares plunged over 25 points. Panicky conditions followed from Thursday with marked declines in securities. The financial press calls it black week and cites U S production and mill shutdowns as triggering fear of German market invasion. A Westphalian firm bought 12 000 tons of American open hearth iron from a London house and American foundry iron sells for eighty five marks in Berlin. German manufacturers form an association to counter American steel, while the Silesian market weakens and hopes for a rolling mill syndicate grow from the same development.
