This article focuses on political and economic issues which are having an impact on the U.S. as well as on other countries. The Hawly Bill, as passed in the U.S. House, imposed duties on logs, lumber and shingles, so as to aid the farmer, by making it more expensive for him to get such wood products as might come across the Canada border. The Senate Committee on Finance on July 30, 1929, decided to put them back on the free list. As the world wags, America is a newly-settled country and it lacks the ingrained, historically-based differences in speech which exist in some of the older lands. Thorstein Veblen, who died in Palo Alto on August 3, 1929 has had a far-reaching influence on American thinking.
