Spies Arrests in Paris and Global War Echoes
The report cites the arrest of two Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Gwitz, and two Canadians, Mr. and Mrs. Bereowitz, with others as members of a vast international spy ring in France. It notes claimed plans for French frontier forts and mocks future war specifics. It surveys U.S. farm finances, the Texas Guinan bullet-proof limousine auction, hunger marches in France, beliefs about the dalai lama, and shifts in debt and taxes. It mentions foreclosures easing under federal aid, rising interest costs, stock losses tied to tax offsets, and efforts to bolster United States trade with South America, including wine promotion and Roman wine history.
