There are many opportunities to buy. To make your purchases at the opportune moment, however, it is necessary to be as well posted on commodity, distribution, and economic movements affecting prices and supplies of the items you purchase as it is to be thoroughly in­ formed regarding the market for your own products. Many types of data will aid you in determining favorable purchasing factors-statistics and summaries for industrial operations and pro­ duction, stocks of manufactured goods and raw materials, unfilled orders, freight-car loadings, commodity indexes, foreign trade, con­ struction activities, agricultural marketing and stocks, bank loans, the money market, and employment.

  • Exile and Repatriation in the Barrios: the Great Depression in La Prensa and La Opinión, 1930-1932
    Camino Real 7: 10. (2015): 93-108 Exile and Repatriation in the Barrios: The Great Depression in La Prensa and La Opinión, 1930-1932 NANCY A. AGUIRRE Abstract During the Great Depression, La Prensa and La Opinión were two of the top-selling Spanish-language newspapers in the United States. These publications, established by Porfirista exile Ignacio E. Lozano, served the Mexican immigrant community, known as el México de afuera, by reporting news from Mexico and the United States, and by encouraging charitable work during the economic crisis. More importantly, these newspapers published news and commentary related to the repatriation of approximately one million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans during the 1930s, a policy enacted by the U.S. government. This essay examines the reactions of La Prensa and La Opinión to repatriation, and the important perspective they provide on forced displacement from both sides of the U.S./Mexico border. Lozano and his staff were political exiles, banished from Mexico for criticizing the country’s revolutionary regime. Consequently, their political situation in Mexico and the fear of deportation influenced their non-combative reactions to repatriation. Nonetheless, Lozano and his colleagues considered themselves opinion leaders in the Mexican barrios, and they helped barrio residents by promoting charity work. They also maintained a sense of the optimism of the 1920s by publishing columns on sports, Hollywood, and popular Nancy Aguirre, Assistant Professor of History at The Citadel. She has published work on the exile newspaperLa Prensa and its implications on politics and gender in the U.S./Mexico borderlands. Aguirre, N. A.

  • The Japanese Economy During the Interwar Period
    20092009--JE--21 The Japanese Economy during the Interwar Period: 両大戦間期Instabilityの日本における恐慌と政策対応 in the Financial System and ― 金融システム問題と世界恐慌への対応を中心にthe Impact of the World Depression ― Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies 金融研究所 鎮目雅人 Masato Shizume 2009 年 4 月 May 2009 The Japanese economy during the interwar period faced chronic crises. Among them, the Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 and the Showa Depression of 1930-31 marked turning points. The Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 was the consequence of persistent financial instability because of the incomplete restructuring in the business sector and postponements in the disposal of bad loans by financial institutions. The crisis brought reforms in the financial sector through large-scale injections of public funds and the amalgamation of banks. The Showa Depression of 1930-31 was caused by the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse, which had been intensified in Japan by the return to the Gold Standard at the old parity. Japan escaped from the Great Depression earlier than most other countries through a series of macroeconomic stimulus measures initiated by Korekiyo Takahashi, a veteran Finance Minister who resumed office in December 1931. Takahashi instituted comprehensive macroeconomic policy measures, including exchange rate, fiscal, and monetary adjustments. At the same time, the Gold Standard, which had been governing Japan’s fiscal policy, collapsed in the wake of the British departure from it in September 1931. Then, Japan introduced a mechanism by which the government could receive easy credit from the central bank without establishing other institutional measures to govern its fiscal policy. This course of events resulted in an eventual loss of fiscal discipline.

    206] GeneralNotes Bird-Band/rig EighteenMore Snow Buntint Returns-W.--•o far as I know,there are very few bird-bandersin North America who have any successin trappingthe SnowBunting (Plectrophenax nivalis nivalis.) I am, therefore, givinghere my resultsfor the winterof 1932-1933. This note is a continua- tion of my three other notes on this species,which appeared in Bird- Bandb•g,•V'ol. I, No. 4, 1930,pp. 187and 188; Vol. II, No. 3, 1931,p. 127; and Vol. III, No. 4, 1932, pp. 175 and 176. The winter of 1932-33 was the most successful I have had in the five wintersthat I have beenbanding Snow Buntings. •Iy first SnowBunting capture during the winter was on October30, 1932, the bird comingto my feedingstation when natural feedinggrounds became partially coveredwith snow. This date set a new early recordof this speciesat my station, my earliestprevious record being December 7, 1932..Mthough this bird came to my stationat an early date, the winter up to the middle of January, 1933, was mostly favorablefor natural winter food, as there was not much snow- fall and not much cold weather, with the result that few visited the station until January, at which time sixteen were banded. February set a new high recordfor number banded,with 114, which is more than were banded any previouswinter. The number banded in March was a little lessthan during .March, 1932, the record being 61 in March, 1932, and 44 during !March, 1933. The whole number banded for the winter (1932-33) was 174, which is over twice as many as were banded during any previous winter.
