For many years "thc world wide trust has doomed among The
portents on the horizon of the future. Efforts have been made to
form such a trust in copper, steel, oil and rubber. The copper combina-

properly girded. Oil and rubber have proven too slippery and too
elastic as vet for a single control. If. then. coffee has been corncred
