tions affecting the commercial and indus
trial interests of the United States are

parison OF the existing conditions with

sturdy shoulders gave evidence that he
was from the country probably farm

hands, which We're thin and white,
twitched nervously in his sleep.
His lips moved spasmodically. His
was an evil conscience. There was
plainly shady side to his past life.
Here We're deceit and honesty side by
