Requirements Arc Severe.
The requirements for the young man
entering foreign trade career are
severe. but the opportunities should
DC great enough to justify them. The
problem OF how to give the necessary

our high schools and colleges is ciearl
~ necessary. DR.. G.. l.. Swiggett OF

men for the foreign field. He believes
th'tt auch universities might probably
