The article presents information on world politics in the 1920s. General Motors Corp. has bought the Opel factory and will manufacture Chevrolet cars to fight Ford in Germany. British financial writers are alarmed because the stockholders of the British General Electric Co. have taken steps to forestall the U.S. majority ownership of that company. These are all powerful signs of the times-signs of the trend toward a financial super-state incomparably more powerful than the League of Nations, but less tightly organized.
