The current liabilities are accounts
either Immediately due or due in the
very near future. The only source from
which sums can be obtained to meet
these payments is the current asset ac-
count. Obviously property cannot be
sold for that purpose nor could invest
ments in affiliated companies be liqui-
dated because, as a rule, such invest
ments have no ready market. Surely
good will" is not available for meeting
current debts.
The first item then, on which We can
rely in the above statement is cash. 1t
sometimes happens that corporation
has cash sufficient alone to cover all
current liabilities, in which case the
position Is the strongest possible. In
our suppoSitious Set-up, however, the
cash will meet only half the current
liabilities
The next item then is marketable
securities, on the theory that these
may be turned into cash without delay.
That depends on the nature of the Sc
curities. If they are United States
Government bonds. they are considered
the equivalent of cash in balance sheet
analyses, but our statement does not
partiCulariZe. However, ordinarily it
would be regarded as safe TO assume
that an additional $12000,000 is avail
able and that, with the cash, would
meet all the current liabilities with a
margin Of 100000.

Steinner-Goltl to obtain a court
order restraining her former hus.
band, Albert Won Steinner-Goltl,
from entertaining their small son
in the company of his second
wife, the former Bonnie Love,
proved unsuccessful when Justice

in a news article last Friday that
the restraining order had been
granted.
Divorced Last Year
Mr.. n-Steinner-Goltl and his

She filed the first action in the

While her suit was pending Mr..
Won STEINER -Goltl established a
residence in Virginia and filed
suit there, although a court order
here had enjoined him from
prosecuting his action.
However, the husband proceeded
with his suit and obtained de-
cree on grounds of desertion. Mrs.
Won Steinner-Golti had named
Miss Love correspondent m ner
suit here.
Although she was awarded lie
cree when her case came to be
tried, the court expressly stated
that the decree was awarded on
the fact that Mr.. Von-Stelnner-
Goltl and Miss Love had married
and that there had been no show
ing of improper conduct before
the marriage.
Child Enjoys Visits
The first wife recently asked the
court to prevent her young son
being entertained by his father in
the presence of his wife, but the
motion was bitterly opposed by
Mr.. Won STEINER -Goltl who intro
duced affidavitS to prove that his
wife is good influence and that
the child enjoyed the visits.

have been built with the assistance OF
the best experts to be had on their
respective fields. Personally I am

carry out the Five Year Plan. In my
opinion it is already well on the way
to having done So"
